"All I could think of was 'I'm going to die for no other reason than I am black and my skin color is somehow a threat.' My life flashed before my eyes as I thought of my girls. Would I ever play with them again? Or watch them have kids? Or be able to kiss my wife again and tell her I love her? I kept asking the officers 'What did I do?'

This needs a violin soundtrack.

Pete Carroll says: "What happened with Michael is a classic illustration of the reality of inequalities that are demonstrated daily," Carroll said. "May this incident inspire all of us to respond with compassion when inequalities are brought to light and allow us to have the courage to stand for change. We can do better than this."

I guess what ol' Pete is trying to say is that white people routinely flee from the police with no threat of pursuit.

Pete Carroll is saying he knows what Colin Kaepernick started sitting and kneeling for is real because it happened to one of his own players.
