Reggie Bush writes tribute to Eric Garner on T-shirt

The Detroit Lions running back paid tribute to Eric Garner -- the man killed by a chokehold from New York police -- Sunday, by writing "I can't breathe" on the shirt he wears under his pads.

:large

Bush has been active on social media this week after the news broke that the police officers who killed Garner wouldn't be indicted by a grand jury.

at the time, I told everyone that he ran to straight up. Its hard to explain, but by wearing this shirt, I can tell you, he's still running straight up.
