Dwyane Wade has lashed out against Chicagos gun laws, calling them weak and saying hes urged officials in his hometown to enact changes to make the city safer.The Chicago Bulls star, whose cousin was shot dead last week, also said his children are afraid of police officers in the same way he was growing up and that prisons need to better rehabilitate inmates. Wade added that he was left with a bad taste in his mouth when Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted about his cousins murder.Wade spoke to ABC News in an interview broadcast Friday. The funeral for Nykea Aldridge, a mother of four who was killed on a Chicago street, is Saturday.For our family, it was very tough, Wade said.Aldridge was one of 90 people killed in August in Chicago, a city that has been ravaged by gun violence and once had some of the nations strictest gun-control laws, many of which are no longer on the books. Wade is returning to Chicago this season after spending the first 13 years of his pro career with the Miami Heat.My purpose for being back in the city is bigger than basketball, Wade said. Basketball is a big part of it, of course. Its what I do for a living. But I think my purpose at the end of the day is hopefully to come to Chicago and be a part and be the voice that can help bring people together.Aldridge, 32, was pushing her baby in a stroller near a school where shed planned to register her children when she was shot in the head and arm. She wasnt the intended target, police said.Two brothers have been charged with her killing.Chicagos 90 homicides in August match the citys most in any month since August 1996. Chicago police say 5,900 illegal guns have been confiscated this year already, and have said a fifth of the guns used in crimes in the city come in from neighboring Indiana.They are fighting a war, Wade said of Chicago police. And they can do a lot better, but they can get more help as well to do better. Theres other cities that have way tougher gun laws. We have weak gun laws.The Chicago Police Department responded in a statement that making the city safer will depend on strong partnerships with the community and help to keep repeat gun offenders off the streets.We will continue to target the gangs that drive the majority of violence, said department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. But with nearly half of those we arrest for murder being repeated gun offenders, we need help to ensure these individuals stay off our streets after repeated arrests for guns.Darwin Sorrells Jr., 26, and Derren Sorrells, 22, are being held without bail on a first-degree murder charge in Aldridges death. The brothers have extensive criminal histories and were parolees.State records show that Darwin Sorrells was most recently released in February, while Derren Sorrells was released Aug. 12 -- two weeks before Aldridges shooting. Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said in the days after Aldridges shooting that hes grown frustrated with the systems inability to stop repeat offenders.Guys go to prison and then we let them back out on the street, theyre going to go back to what theyre used to and what they know, Wade said. So if theres something we can do with the prison that can help with work programs when people come out, it gives them an opportunity to try to help themselves.Wade has spoken out about social and race-related issues several times, including the shooting of unarmed Florida teen Trayvon Martin and the recent rash of high-profile police shootings.He said the three boys hes raising -- two sons and a nephew -- are old enough to understand the issues.My boys are afraid of police just the same way I was when I was growing up, Wade said. Not all police, obviously. But my boys hear everything thats going on in the world, all the harassment, all the murders thats going on and they pose the question back to me. And what answer do I have for them?Wade will hold an event in Miami on Sept. 17 to promote cycling safety and unity in the community, and Miami police officers plan to pedal alongside him on the six-mile bike ride.In the ABC interview, Wade was also asked how he felt about Trump tweeting about his cousins death. Wade said he felt conflicted.On one end, your cousins death is used as a ploy for political gain, Wade said. On the other end, its a national story. It goes back to that for me. I want eyes on this city. Allen Iverson Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season.

The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Gary Harris Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

The off-pace trickeryMitchell Starc breathed fire to take 24 wickets in the Test series, but it was guile that brought him his 100th ODI wicket, which came in fewer games for him than for any other bowler. Pitching full and wide, Starc drew Dhananjaya de Silva into one of his languid cover drives, but de Silva was through with his shot by the time the ball came. In the end, the inside half of the bat was taken, and the ball floated up towards short midwicket, where a fine catch was taken.The omenAustralias Adam Zampa had not extracted outrageous spin during his seven overs, but the Khettarama revealed itself to be a raging turner fairly early in the chase. Debutant Amila Aponso pitched one on a length just outside off stump and it leapt dramatically away from Steven Smiths bat. The turn was too drastic even for wicketkeeper Kusal Perera to handle, and the ball finished in Angelo Mathews hands at slip. All through the chase, Australia would have to negotiate raging turn.The cool catThe Dilscoop led to his dismissal aand his bowling was bashed around, but Tillakaratne Dilshan still managed a few acts of effortless brilliance in the field, despite being the oldest man on it.dddddddddddd His most impressive moment came in the 25th over, when Mathew Wade nailed a slog sweep off Lakshan Sandakan, though Wade perhaps didnt loft the shot as much as he would have liked. Standing at short mid-wicket, Dilshan reached up, plucked the ball from the air, and casually threw it over his shoulder.The dropKusal Mendis had several close calls during his half-century, but none luckier than during the first ten overs, when he was dropped on 14. He swept James Faulkner high towards deep square leg and, though Aaron Finch appeared at first to be lining up the catch nicely, he wound up misjudging it, falling over backwards, and palming the ball onto the rope. When he rose up, he signaled that hed lost the ball in the sun. ' ' '
