CHARLOTTE — Cam Newton took a stand Tuesday on police brutality and racial tensions in America, but it was a very neutral stand.
“It’s just something that we all have to be held accountable. When is enough enough?” Newton said a day after another police shooting of an African-American man, this one in Charlotte where Newton plays for the Carolina Panthers.
“In my sport and my life, if I’m not held accountable, there is (backup quarterbacks) Derek Anderson and Joe Webb. But people are dying and in some cases, it’s innocence and another incident it was a threat to the police officer.
