Speaker 1: On Saturday, September twenty nine, two police officers responding to
Speaker 1: a shots fired call in Brookhaven, Mississippi, were murdered. They
Speaker 1: were buried October three and fourth. On October five, Brookhaven
Speaker 1: High School held a home football game in their grieving town.
Speaker 1: They hosted the visiting Forest Hill High School from Jackson,
Speaker 1: whose band performed a halftime show. Photos show the visiting
Speaker 1: band students in costumes holding fake rifles aimed at other
Speaker 1: Jackson students dressed as SWAT team members. The police were
Speaker 1: cowering on the ground as the band played. The photos
Speaker 1: went viral. The town of Brookhaven is outraged. Jackson Public
Speaker 1: School Superintendent Eric Green explained that the performance was loosely
Speaker 1: based on a Denzel Washington movie. The Jackson School District
Speaker 1: released a statement professing great respect for law enforcement. They
Speaker 1: apologized for the insensitive performance. The band director has been
Speaker 1: placed on leave. So what's next? Well, those involved in
Speaker 1: this show endorsement deals from Nike because they believed in
Speaker 1: something and we're willing to sacrifice everything for it. Just
Speaker 1: what does anybody in that stadium have in common with
Speaker 1: that presentation?
