Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich opened up about the widespread demonstrations across the country against police brutality in an interview with Dave Zirin of The Nation.
George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died last Monday in Minneapolis police custody after an officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for several minutes, even as Floyd said he couldn't breathe. Officer Derek Chauvin, who was fired from his job, was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter on Friday. The three other officers present, also fired, have not been arrested. Floyd's killing sparked outrage and protests across the country.
