A New York City police union has drawn criticism from some racial justice advocates after it compared a black NFL player's behavior during an arrest to that of 'a wild animal.'

This NFL thug was acting more like a savage. Wild animals only attack for food or if the animal/their young is threaten by predators. The police spoke out of context and should have used savage rather than wild animal because an animal has more self-respect than this guy.

So the comment is the problem? Not the behavior? So strange.

I’ve referred to my own children as “ a wild animal,” when they were having a tantrum and I am white. Stop the madness!

Then maybe he should have behaved like a human being

It’s so blatant....they don’t even try to hide it🙄

Did he have more officers punched in the face this season than tackles?

He has some nerve calling someone an animal. The same can be said about dirty NY cops...wild animals in blue with guns.

See something, say something.

Of the damn shoe fits where it. Don’t apologize for that shit. If he acted like a wild animal call it what it is.

Questions/issues 1) A journalist would have found out who (the individual) wrote the SBA tweet. 2) NFL condones criminals? Official stance of SBA (PBA)? 3) NFL player has a possible mental episode. Is NFL actually 'doing' something about that? 4) Is that a Lions/NFL/NFLPA issue?

How dare you call that human being an animal!!! Animals deserve better than this! You ghouls!

Zero racism. It’s a figure of speech

How would he describe the two mass murderers in Florida and Louisiana who slaughtered 9 people this weekend?

If someone acts like a wild animal, then they will be described as such regardless if white, black or brown. Everything offends someone but it’s not racism.

The guy's apparently outrageous behavior? not a story. Activist groups' reaction to the police characterization? Apparently a story.

It depends how was behavior during the arrest?
