MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Minnesota Vikings are preparing to play a game Sunday in North Carolina, just blocks from where violent protests took place Wednesday night in response to yet another police shooting of a black man.
Vikings defensive tackle Tom Johnson has been watching the unfolding events closely, and has been growing frustrated.
“It’s just unfortunate. But the thing about it is these things have been going on for decades and decades on end. And the only thing [different now] is that people have cellphones and can document it and it can be seen on a daily basis now,” Johnson said.
