Beal shares experience with police as Wizards, Mystics hold march on Juneteenth

Two years ago, Bradley Beal said, he was pulled over on the side of Interstate 495 for being black.

The Washington Wizards star revealed the allegation of police racism Friday before several Wizards and Mystics players led a Black Lives Matter march from Capital One Arena to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in honor of Juneteenth.

“The officer asked me to step out of the vehicle. I’m literally on the side of the highway,” Beal said, adding his wife and a friend were in the car with him.
