@@@ Here s a sampling: 鈥揃roncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton on Twitter:

That man should be thrown out the nfl and thrown into jail. Shame on those deciding his punishment. Smh 
As players we must speak up. Stand up for what s right. I don t give a damn who u are or how much money you make. No place for this. 
This video makes me sick to my stomach. 
As players we always speak on how we are unfairly treated, well now what?

鈥揝aints tackle Zach Strief:

I don t know Ray Rice, but I know that video is disturbing. It s tough to see and it s unacceptable. It s upsetting.

鈥揝teelers cornerback William Gay:

We re talking about a life, I don t care about <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php> Christian Louboutin Outlet Online</a>  a sport when it comes down to domestic violence. This is real. Someone can lose their life to it.
So I m not concerned about the sport. I m concerned about what happens in the world, what happens in real life.

Gay s mother, Carolyn, was shot and killed by Gay s stepfather in Tallahassee, Florida, when Gay was 7 years old. He volunteers at the Women s Center Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh and is an advocate for domestic violence victims.

We need to do everything we can to help Ray Rice because we don t need to run away from him and say he s evil.

鈥揃ills coach Doug Marrone, who supports Vera House, which assists victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse:

Am I happy the NFL has taken a harder stance? I mean, there is no excuse for abuse. I really believe that.

鈥揅leveland Browns coach Mike Pettine, who called the video deeply disturbing, especially as a father that has two daughters :

There s just no place for that behavior in our society.

Adding he wasn t surprised that Rice was cut after Petting saw the video, he was asked if he could coach a player involved in something similar: You don t want to ever talk in absolutes, but it would be really difficult, he said. 鈥揟itans tackle Michael Oher, former teammate of Rice s in Baltimore whose locker was next to the running back:

If my daughter was to get hit like that from another man, I d have a serious problem with it. So I wish him <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Replica</a>  the best, but it s no place for that. I don t care if you re a football player, a professional athlete or anything, a regular man or anything, there s no place for that 鈥?striking a woman.

鈥揓udy Harris Kluger, a former New York City judge and now executive director of Sanctuary for Families, a leading service provider and advocate for survivors of domestic violence and related forms of gender violence:

The video of Ray Rice punching his fiancee in the elevator is a graphic illustration of what goes on behind closed doors every day in this country. In my years as a prosecutor and judge, I never saw such explicit videotape evidence of domestic violence. Today, by acting quickly and decisively, and in suspending Ray Rice and terminating his contract, the NFL and the Baltimore Ravens sent a powerful message that domestic violence will not be tolerated. 
I hope that with this action, along with the new policy outlined by Commissioner Goodell, the NFL will emerge as leaders in the fight against domestic violence.

鈥揅oach Kyle Flood of Rutgers, where Rice attended:

Family is family, but at Rutgers we hold ourselves to an extremely high standard, and we expect a lot out of our players, and we expect a lot out of the coaches and the staff that we have here we expect a lot out of our alumni. I think because of those expectations, this is a sad day.
Ray will always be a part of our family. The video I saw this morning was difficult to watch. As a husband and as a father, there s nothing that could justify what I saw on that video.
This is <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a>  a sad day for Ray and a sad day for Rutgers.

鈥揥hite House spokesman Josh Earnest, who did not know whether President Barack Obama had seen the latest video.

This administration and this president do believe strongly that the scourge of violence against women is something that needs to be aggressively combatted. We certainly welcome any strong signals by anyone in this country in support of that value, Earnest said.

-Demonstrators protest the killing of teenager Michael Brown on August 19, 2014, in Ferguson, Missouri. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)Related Posts鈥檚  on the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, left many young black folks <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Stevie-Handbag>Kate Spade Handbags Outlet</a>  feeling that 聽the administration was either unwilling or inept at addressing racial injustice in the United States.
+Here s a sampling:
-While the focus on America鈥檚 first black president聽is understandable, it has unfortunately provided every mayor, city council and police department with the cover they need to continue to refuse to implement  sense reforms that would keep everyone safe from police misconduct and abuse of power.
+鈥揃roncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton on Twitter:
-The truth is that the presidency, a federal office, has limited authority over local government agencies like police departments.
+ That man should be thrown out the nfl and thrown into jail. Shame on those deciding his punishment. Smh
-Local elected officials hold the most power to create the kind of change we need. While pressuring an unknown city councilman may not earn activists national recognition and Twitter stardom, doing so effectively may end stats that show a black person is killed by police, security officers or vigilantes every  in the U.S.
+  As players we must speak up. Stand up for what s right. I don t give a damn who u are or how much money you make. No place for this.
-Young people are crowding streets across America, confronting local police, screaming, 鈥淒on t shoot!鈥?and boldly asking 鈥淎m I next?鈥?鈥斅燽ut clear policy demands directed at the appropriate targets have been lacking. While the media directs our attention to Ferguson, we should also be organizing to create real policy change in our own communities.
+ This video makes me sick to my stomach.
-) Your Mayor:
+ As players we always speak on how we are unfairly treated, well now what?
-Mayors are the top elected officials in virtually every city in the U.S. In cities like Chicago, New York and Washington, DC, the mayor hires or appoints the Chief of Police and has the power to hold police departments accountable for their actions. Does your mayor have a plan to prevent your city from becoming the next Ferguson? In most cases, probably not. Currently, the 聽the leading organization dedicated to providing mayors with guidance and support to make good policy 鈥斅爃as not provided mayors with any significant guidance to prevent your city from descending into the chaos that one bad cop can cause.
+鈥揝aints tackle Zach Strief:
-) Your City Council Representative:
+ I don t know Ray Rice, but I know that video is disturbing. It s tough to see and it s unacceptable. It s upsetting.
-If you want laws that provide your community with a more powerful role in holding local law enforcement accountable, then those laws will undoubtedly come through your city council.聽 Many advocates are proposing 鈥淢ike Brown鈥檚 Law,鈥?which would require police officers to wear cameras and record their interactions with citizens. If you believe that laws like this would benefit your community and save black and brown lives, then start by asking your city council representative to introduce this legislation.
+鈥揝teelers cornerback William Gay:
-) Your Chief of Police:
+ We re talking about a life, I don t care about <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php> Christian Louboutin Outlet Online</a>  a sport when it comes down to domestic violence. This is real. Someone can lose their life to it.
-In some cities, the Chief of Police is known as the Police Commissioner or the Superintendent of Police and is the top law enforcement officer. This powerful executive has the authority over every police officer in their departments and can discipline police officers.聽 In many cities, this role is directly accountable to the people because it is an elected position, and in other cities the Chief of Police are held accountable by the mayors who appoint them. The Chief of Police in your city should <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Glasses>Jimmy Choo Glasses</a>  have a plan to protect you from police brutality, and their process for disciplining officers who commit violence against citizens should be transparent.
+ So I m not concerned about the sport. I m concerned about what happens in the world, what happens in real life.
-) Community Review Boards/ Police Accountability Boards:
+Gay s mother, Carolyn, was shot and killed by Gay s stepfather in Tallahassee, Florida, when Gay was 7 years old. He volunteers at the Women s Center Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh and is an advocate for domestic violence victims.
-Community Review Boards or Police Accountability Boards are intended to provide an opportunity for citizens to hold police accountable. They were established in many cities in the 1970s and 1980s in response to widespread police brutality faced by those in the Civil Rights and Anti-War movements.
+ We need to do everything we can to help Ray Rice because we don t need to run away from him and say he s evil.
-Over the years, the power of these boards has been eroded or undermined by police tactics. If your community does not have a board, then consider starting a campaign to establish one. If your community has a Community Review Board that doesn t have the power it needs to hold police accountable and keep your community safe from bad police practices, then organize a campaign to strengthen that board.

-Young leaders are also encouraged to join groups like the   and the 聽and build power in their own cities at the local level.聽 It is their commitment to building such power which can be used to end police brutality and the .
+ Am I happy the NFL has taken a harder stance? I mean, there is no excuse for abuse. I really believe that.
-Charlene Carruthers is national coordinator of the Black Youth Project 100 (), a national member-based organization of Black 18-35 activists. Charlene is an organizer and writer born and raised on the south side of Chicago, where she currently resides.聽
+鈥揅leveland Browns coach Mike Pettine, who called the video deeply disturbing, especially as a father that has two daughters :
-Terrance Laney is public policy chair of the Black Youth Project 100 (). Terrance is an organizer, born and raised in Georgia and currently living in Washington, <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Riki>Jimmy Choo Riki</a>  DC. You can follow him on Twitter .
