The alleged trade would bring the former Defensive Player of the Year to a law enforcement agency in exchange for a first-round pick and two officers to be acquitted later. THEBADCOPS are reportedly not concerned with Green’s indefinite suspension, explaining that they are uniquely equipped to handle situations like these. “Trust me, we know how to deal with a few days suspension and a slap on the wrists,” said THEBADCOPS head trainer B. Tim Down. “I still can’t believe he was suspended five games for choking Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert. How was Draymond supposed to know that dude wasn’t reaching for a weapon? I’m sure Draymond feared for his life.”
Over the course of his career, Green has averaged 9.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 groin punches per game. As a three-tool player (chest stomps, groin kicks and face elbows), the six-time NBA champion (Four NBA Finals, two Thug of the Year trophies) is known as one of basketball’s most passionate players. Unfortunately, his passion is beating up people. Although his use of force disproportionately affects Black payers, THEBADCOPS insists that Green’s violence has nothing to do with race. “We don’t care if their jerseys are Black, white or purple, they just want players to do their job,” read a statement from BADCOPS Hall of Famer Derek Chauvin, who is currently serving an 8,216 game sentence. “I’d love to see him in a blue and red uniform.” (THEBADCOPS wear blue uniforms, but sometimes blood gets splattered on it.)
Citing NBA tampering rules, the possibility of being laid out during a layup drill and the insanity of policing in America, the Warriors’ front office refused to comment.
According to the Law Enforcement Epidemiology Project, police use force on or threaten about 1 million civilians every year, resulting in an estimated 75,000 non-fatal injuries requiring hospital treatment and 600 to 1,000 deaths.
It’s almost like brutalizing Black people is America’s favorite pastime.
