Michael Porter Jr. Sends Prayers To Cops Who Murdered George Floyd, Twitter Reacts

Michael Porter Jr., a player for the Denver Nuggets, has inserted himself in the latest national tragedy in ways that don’t seem to be appreciated by the masses.

Porter asked that people give prayers and sympathies to the officers involved in the murder of George Floyd but Twitter says his jumper is off.

However, Porter did rightly call Floyd’s death the murder it clearly was.

Twitter has let Michael Porter Jr. know that they’re not in a prayerful way at the moment with some epic slander to boot.
