Fox News
Aaron Rouse, a former NFL player who's now running for state senate in Virginia, previously bashed the United States and law enforcement officers, comparing them to 'slave patrols.'
"America may have freed the slave, but not the Black American," Rouse said during the rally. "I'm not here to explain to you the anger, the frustration, and the tired of being sick and tired of being Black in America." Joe Schoffstall is a politics producer/reporter for Fox News Digital.

"I'm not here to teach you how the institution of slavery formed the origins of American policing....The similarities between the slave patrols and modern American policing are too salient to dismiss or ignore," Rouse said.
