Miami Heat players pose in ‘hoodies’ as a protest

Miami Heat basketball players posed in “hoodies” in a picture published on Friday to protest against the Florida shooting death of an unarmed black teenager by a neighborhood watch volunteer who said he was acting in self-defense. Leading Heat player LeBron James posted a picture on his Twitter account showing the National Basketball Association team in their training tops – all with the hoods raised over their heads in the fashion reportedly worn by Trayvon Martin on the night he was shot last month.

“Their silence in the face of this injustice is reprehensible and they cannot be trusted to safe guard the citizens of the Sanford community equally,” the statement said.
