@Regrann from @revolutionary_mindset - Just about 300 miles southeast from where Vince Wilfork and his Houston Texans were preparing to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars later that day, Wilfork’s lifelong friend was shot – three times – by a police officer on the side of the highway at 3 a.m. Sunday morning. The details are hazy, but what we know is this: In those early hours, 31-year-old Corey Jones had pulled over to tend to his failing car, was “confronted” by a plain-clothed police officer who never identified himself, was fired at five times and died shortly thereafter, with no dashboard or body cameras recording the incident.Now Wilfork is speaking out about the shooting – how he craves justice for his friend, how this death is just one instance of a larger systemic problem and how he plans to use the “platform” of the NFL as a launching point for these tough but crucial societal conversations. “The crazy thing is it’s not the first time this [kind of incident] has happened,” Wilfork said at his team’s press conference Thursday. “We’ve seen a lot of this going on in society, but especially when it affects you personally … it just gives me an opportunity to speak about it.” #Regrann -- source link
