Dwyane Wade wore an enormous statement Tuesday — yes, wore — on TNT. The former NBA All-Star wants justice for Breonna Taylor, who was shot multiple times and killed by police in Louisville (KY), in March.
Give a listen to Wade’s dynamic and poignant declaration:

The phone number on the shirt is that for Kentucky’s Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who has yet to take action against any of the officers involved in the killing of the 26-year-old African-American emergency medical technician. She was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove executing a no-knock search warrant on March 13.
Gunfire was exchanged between Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker and the officers. Walker said he believed that the officers were intruders. The LMPD officers fired over twenty shots. Taylor was shot eight times[1] and LMPD Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly was injured by gunfire.[2] Another police officer and an LMPD lieutenant were on the scene when the warrant was executed
