ESPN’s Jalen Rose Speaks Out Against Breonna Taylor Death Investigation Outcome During Heat-Celtics Pregame Show

Jalen Rose took some time ahead of Wednesday night’s game to discuss a Kentucky grand jury’s decision that no officers would be charged directly with Breonna Taylor’s death. “I just want people to know that Blacks are hurting,” he said. “…players are performing with heavy hearts.” Rose followed this up at half-time, remarking “It’d also be a great day to arrest the cops that murdered Breonna Taylor” before going to commercial.

"While [NBA players] are out there … trying to win a championship, I understand that this is really painful to show up to work and still try to entertain."
