In an effort to strengthen the relationship between police and the community in his hometown of Mobile, Ala., Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins is sponsoring a panel discussion this Labor Day weekend.

The event - "Man to Man: Build the Trust, Break the Silence" - will feature both prominent community leaders and the Mobile Police Department, with an eye on strengthening the relationship between the two parties.
