Andre Hawkins on Justice

I was taught that justice was a right that every American should have. Also, justice should be the goal of every American. I think that's what makes this country. To me, justice means the innocent should be found innocent. It means that those who do wrong should get their due punishment. Ultimately, it means fair treatment. So a call for justice shouldn't offend or disrespect anybody.

A call to justice shouldn't warrant an apology.

In response to criticism for wearing a t-shirt at the Bengals @ Browns game, asking for justice for the killings of 12-year-old Tamir Rice who was shot 2 seconds after a police officer arrived in a park for playing with an air gun and John Crawford, who was shot by police in a Walmart carrying a toy gun.
