Conservative radio talk show host Larry Elder took to Twitter to hit the Bucks with the facts:

Dear @Bucks,

50,000,000 police-civilian contacts each year

10,000,000 arrests

60,000 officers assaulted

1000 killed by the police (most resisted arrest with a weapon or resisted violently); 500 whites; 250 blacks; more unarmed whites killed than unarmed blacks.

Milwaukee @Bucks,

Examine data on cops/blacks/killings the way you use data/facts/stats to evaluate players/teams. You'll see the "racist-cops-killing-blacks" narrative is a LIE.https://t.co/qxChxAFLo9 https://t.co/AP12RaOVnb https://t.co/ZxaglVrbGr https://t.co/E7U7RnDQWl
