Serena Williams speaks on police violence

In a Facebook post published Tuesday afternoon, the tennis superstar andarguably the greatest athlete ever penned a statement on a recent experience she had while driving with her 18-year-old nephew.

SHE SAID l

Today I asked my 18 year old nephew (to be clear he's black) to drive me to my meetings so I can work on my phone #safteyfirst. In the distance I saw cop on the side of the road. I quickly checked to see if he was obliging by the speed limit. Than I remembered that horrible video of the woman in the car when a cop shot her boyfriend. All of this went through my mind in a matter of seconds. I even regretted not driving myself. I would never forgive myself if something happened.
