Athletes show unintelligent response to shooting of suspect resisting arrest

Houston Chronicle:
A's, Astros walk off field in protest, game postponed
If athletes want to do something about police shootings they should tell people not to resist arrest or take threatening actions toward police.  Resisting arrest is the dumbest thing a person can do in a confrontation with police.  What intelligent people do is cooperate with the police and if arrested get an attorney appointed to deal with the problem.

Walking off the field because an alleged criminal made a bad decision is just another bad decision.  The league should consider fining players who do this in the future.
