ALAMEDA — Jared Cook is no stranger to peaceful protest, and the Raiders tight end thinks it’s unfortunate the NFL has made taking a stand into something sinister rather than something noble.
Cook was one of five players on the St. Louis Rams who put their hands up in a “don’t shoot” gesture following the police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014.
It happened, coincidentally, before a 52-0 win over the Raiders that season.
