Arik Armstead is just the latest athlete to take to social media to speak on the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin.

The San Francisco 49ers defensive star took to Twitter on Wednesday, speaking on the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Kenosha, Wisconsin man who was shot several times in the back during a dispute Sunday.

“Praying for Jacob Blake. Aren’t we all tired of seeing unarmed black people shot by police ? Even if you are on the other side aren’t you tired of having to make justifications for it and deal with civil unrest?”

I’m definitely sick and tired of it. I want police to be better! But why can’t we recognize criminals need to be better! Criminals need to stop being criminals! Criminals need to comply! Respect needed both sides

He said unarmed black man was shot. Whether he was a good dude or not shouldn't matter. 7 times shot in the back as he was walking back to his car with his kids in it…that's not good police work.
