NBA players spoke out against racial profiling and police violence Tuesday after a graphic video of Terence Crutcher being fatally shot by police officers in Tulsa, Okla., on Sept. 16 circulated online.
Police dashcam footage released three days later shows Crutcher lifting his arms in the air before being tasered by one officer and then shot by another.
The 40-year-old was taken to hospital, where he later died.
Point guards Russell Westbrook, Rajon Rondo, and Chris Paul used their respective social media accounts to share their concerns and condolences.
