LeBron James interjected racism when he posted an irresponsible, dangerous tweet to millions of followers on Twitter before he had all the facts. James identified the officer involved in the Columbus, Ohio, police shooting with the officer’s image saying, “YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY.”
James incited violence against the police officer. James was commenting on the terrible choice the police officer had to make only seconds after arriving at the scene of chaos. The officer had to decide in a split second that he needed to fire his weapon to save a young lady that was about to get stabbed. It was clear the officer did this to protect the young lady that was about to get stabbed. If there is anyone who thinks this police officer wanted to shoot the young lady wielding the knife, you’re crazy. Would the young lady being assaulted be alive today if not for the cop’s action? James, if this was one of your kids, what would you want the cop to do?
