National security adviser: 'I don't think there's systemic racism' in US police forces

Washington (CNN)National security adviser Robert O'Brien on Sunday denied in an interview on CNN that systemic racism exists across the nation's police forces, arguing instead that "a few bad apples" give the impression of racism among law enforcement officers. 
"No, I don't think there's systemic racism. I think 99.9% of our law enforcement officers are great Americans. Many of them are African American, Hispanic, Asian, they're working the toughest neighborhood, they've got the hardest jobs to do in this country and I think they're amazing, great Americans," O'Brien told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" when asked if systemic racism was a problem for police agencies.

Hall of Famer, Broncos Legend Floyd Little Diagnosed with Cancer

Denver Broncos legend Floyd Little has been diagnosed with cancer, according to one of his former college teammates.
Pat Killorin talked to Syracuse.com's Nate Mink, who wrote Little has a "treatable but aggressive form of cancer." Killorin set up a GoFundMe fundraiser to help cover medical expenses.
Little was named an All-American in each of his three years at Syracuse from 1964 to '66. He scored 44 touchdowns.
The Broncos selected Little sixth overall in the 1967 NFL draft. He spent his nine-year career in Denver and ranks second in franchise history with 6,323 rushing yards and 43 touchdowns. The Connecticut native led the NFL in rushing yards (1,133) and yards from scrimmage (1,388) in 1971.
In 2005, Syracuse retired the famous No. 44 jersey worn by Little and others, including Jim Brown. Denver also retired the number, in 1984. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.
