BLACK LIVES MATTER

Black Lives Matter is a movement advocating for non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality and all motivated violence against black people. One of the most recent cases is the one about Jacob Blake who was shot by an officer police man seven times in the back as he opened the door of his car. The victim is recovering in hospital and is conscious, but he may not be able to walk again. This is why the NBA postponed its entire slate of Wednesday fixtures after the Bucks refused to play game five of their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Orlando Magic in protest at the shooting of Jacob Blake.
