The mean streets of Twitter have absolutely gone all-in with their support of the “defund the police” campaign. So much so, that basketball fans on Twitter have decided to rework several NBA team logos to display the “defund the police” slogan.

Some folks even went old school and decided to also take on some of the retro logos of certain teams, such as the defending champs, the Toronto Raptors.

It's all well and fun, and it's pretty awesome to see how creative these artists can get to build on this campaign. Make no mistake about it, however — the message here is extremely serious.

The death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police on May 25th is just one of many instances wherein certain cops abuse their authority, to say the least. Louiseville native Breonna Taylor, who herself was shot and killed by the police during a drug raid, is also another victim of alleged racial discrimination by the police.
