Tom Brady, Drew Brees, More Sign Letter in Support of Ending Police Immunity

The Players Coalition sent a letter to Congress on Wednesday with over 1,400 signatures from athletes, coaches and executives supporting the end to qualified immunity for police officers.

Here's a portion of the letter signed by high-profile figures from the NFL, NBA and MLB (via ESPN's Michael Rothstein):

"It is time for Congress to eliminate qualified immunity, and it can do so by passing the Amash-Pressley bill. When police officers kill an unarmed man, when they beat a woman, or when they shoot a child, the people of this country must have a way to hold them accountable in a court of law.
