Breonna Talyor: Charles Barley and Shaquille O'Neal attacked for 'defending cops' | Daily Mail Online: Charles Barkley and Sahquille O'Neal were accused on Twitter of defending the Louisville police officers who killed Breonna Taylor
Barkley and O'Neal were discussing Taylor's death and the decision not to indict any officers in her killing during the TNT pregame show on Thursday night
Barkley argued that Taylor's death couldn't be compared to the police killing of George Floyd because Taylor's boyfriend fired at officers first
O'Neal agreed and argued the officers involved were simply 'doing their job' on a warrant signed by a judge
Both of the NBA stars agreed, however, that the system needed to change
Barkley and O'Neal immediately came under fire on social media for their comments as they were accused of 'defending the police'
One person branded them: 'Skin folk, not kin folk'
