“I support our law enforcement and am thankful for their service,” he wrote in a statement posted on Twitter. “I don’t support the bad cops who abuse their power. I’m not ignorant to the facts; I know the bad cops are outweighing the good ones right now and it’s unfair. I want everyone to know that it’s possible to fight for injustice and still support and pray for the safety of cops. It’s possible to not like 1 bad cop and love another.
“This guy is my brother and I’m proud to say he is my friend. Ryan, stands with #blacklivesmatter because he understands that if ‘all lives matter’ we all should be outraged by the recent acts of abused power.”
