Justice?

I wonder if the players would have cancelled the playoffs if they'd watched more than the 5 second video clip the media has condensed.

Because there was a LOT more leading up to that unfortunate outcome than what is selectively and intentionally being shown, pared down.  Including a group of police being pelted with rocks and other debris, and an officer taking a rock to the melon that sent him to the ground, and Blake getting into a physical altercation with police before being instructed to sit on the curb.  So when the police took a more aggressive posture to stabalize and take control of the situation, Blake standing up and walking away, then going into his car when they were ordering him to stand down and reaching for something...

Takes on a much different spin when viewed in its entirety instead of just the end 5 seconds, showing police advancing on a guy with guns drawn.

The NBA players should use their newfound free time to watch the entire video and find out more about what transpired with the whole situation (above and beyond Blake), and then perhaps the eventual outcome might be perceived slightly differently.

Or maybe not.  But the entire incident isn't encapsulated in that six second video clip being shown, which has thrown gasoline on the fire.
