Like so many of us, Klay Thompson is exhausted by the racial discrimination in this country.
The future Hall of Famer took to Instagram on Friday to respond to a news story by KTVU, focusing on a Black couple in Tiburon who claim they were racially discriminated against by police for entering the clothing store they own after hours. The incident was recorded on a cell phone.
Thompson took a screenshot of the story and posted the following message:
“Tiburon PD, wtf???” Thompson wrote. “This is how y’all treat hard-working self-made business owners? Wait no, just the African ones. … Black people always have to prove their innocence no matter how ‘successful’ they are. This shitts really exhausting.”
The Tiburon Police Chief said in a statement that an external, independent attorney is investigating the matter.
