Matt Barnes: Don't Break the Law, Kids ... Cops Kill and Get Away With It

Matt Barnes wants the youth of America to know it's more important than ever to avoid getting in any kind of legal trouble, because it could cost you your life ... if you're a black kid.

We got Barnes weighing in on the deaths of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and the assassination of cops in Dallas. The NBA star's concern was obvious -- he has 2 young boys, and flat out says he thinks cops are literally getting away with murder.

Barnes didn't indict everyone in law enforcement, but added ... "a couple bad cops can ruin it for everybody."
