Seattle Seahawks rising sophomore wide receiver DK Metcalf shared a video on Twitter on Saturday in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. It has led to countless demonstrations against police violence this past weekend following African-American man George Floyd's death at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department.

In the video, the 22-year-old Mississippi native finds the words to express the horrors of Floyd's murder (a widely circulated video showed one officer pressing his knee against Floyd's throat until the man was unresponsive). An emotional Metcalf elucidated what many people are thinking after watching yet another video of an unarmed black man accused of a nonviolent crime killed by the police: what if that had been my own family?
With tears in his eyes, the Seahawks receiver repeated words from slain civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., demanding equal rights to all people.
