Las Vegas Raiders are slammed over 'I Can Breathe' tweet following Chauvin verdict as team owner Mark Davis defends the remark, saying he was echoing George Floyd's brother

21/04/21 00:39

The Las Vegas Raiders are under fire for tweeting 'I Can Breathe' (inset bottom) after Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, but team owner Mark Davis (left) is defending message, saying he was echoing a comment from the victim's brother, Philonise (inset top). The tweet, which Davis said was his idea, was sent by the team's official account on Tuesday: 'I CAN BREATHE 4-20-21.' Floyd told officers 'I can't breathe' more than 20 times before he was killed when Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck last May. Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter on Tuesday for causing Floyd's death. He faces up tp 75 years in prison of his sentences are served consecutively. The Raiders' tweet was slammed on Twitter by commenters who saw it as a premature celebration. 'The police shot a 15 year old black girl while the jury was reading Chauvin's guilty verdict,' read one comment, referring to the fatal police shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday. 'It's not time to breathe easy yet.' 'Bro how is this not deleted yet,' one Twitter user asked. The tweet remained pinned to the top of the team's Twitter account more than two hours after being posted. Davis said he won't delete the tweet because it is already out there but is sorry if it offended anyone in Floyd's family. Davis said he was driving when the verdict was announced and heard Floyd's brother, Philonise, make the statement that 'we can all breathe again' and decided to make that message the team's response. 'I thought that said a lot,' Davis said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. 'It said a lot about everything. I thought it was something where we could all breathe again. Justice was served.'...read
