For a state that is obsessed with college football, it's currently the furthest thing from the minds of people in Louisiana right now after a shooting in Baton Rouge killed three police officers and wounded many more.
LSU players of past and present took to social media to voice their condolences, while also offering some opinion. Some more emotional than others.
Former LSU Tigers:
Lord, have mercy on us. #PrayingForBatonRouge

Can't be a world where "Black Lives Matter" & those of the police officers don't! Please stop the killing. An eye for an eye is not the way!

There is no tomorrow... Their loved ones won't make it home and to me that's heartbreaking. No matter the color of the victims!!

Current players:

My heart hurts for the families of the officers killed. All this could be solved if people would just follow the law. #BackTheBlue
