Ex-athletes back Texas-based firm, high-tech police support

DALLAS (AP) — Grapevine native and former SMU defensive back Jack Brewer says he's sick of athletes and black men being portrayed as hostile toward police.

The Dallas Morning News (http://bit.ly/28QpedU ) reports that's one reason he recruited eight athletes to invest in COPsync, an Addison-based software company that wants to help protect police officers and the public. Six are former NFL players, one is a current NFL player and one is a former collegiate volleyball player.

"The community in general is tired about hearing about negative stories," Brewer, 37, also a former NFL player, said.
