Warriors forward Draymond Green denounced the protesters at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday as “terrorists,” and contrasted the way the Capitol Police reacted to them with what he perceived to be the far more harsh reaction that Black Lives Matter supporters received over the summer.
Speaking to reporters after Golden State’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Green coupled Wednesday’s incident with the decision not to prosecute the officer involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake, and said they represented a “slap in the face” and a “f*ck you” to “every black person in America.” (NSFW):
Draymond Green says it was baffling to see law enforcement stand by as domestic terrorists stormed the Capitol, while they attacked peaceful BLM protesters on those same steps. He says it was a big f*** you to every black person in America. (Warning graphic language) @kron4news pic.twitter.com/izCZzwc0ww
