Lebron James is an absolutely reprehensible human being:
FOX NEWS – Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is facing intense backlash over a now-deleted tweet targeting a Columbus police officer involved in the shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant.
Bodycam footage released late Tuesday showed Bryant being shot as she was attacking another Black teen with a knife.
However, like many other public figures, James suggested that the Columbus shooting was unjustified coming on the heels of the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on murder and manslaughter charges in the death of George Floyd.
“YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY,” the NBA icon wrote with an hourglass emoji over an image of one of the officers at the scene of Bryant’s shooting.
Here’s an image of the tweet via Fox News:
As I’ve said today, this cop is a hero. No question about it. And yet Lebron James targets him like this as if he did something wrong? What the hell Lebron?
He did delete the tweet, probably because his agents and lawyers told him to do so, but we all know this is how he feels. In fact he underscored it a couple of times today:
ANGER does any of us any good and that includes myself! Gathering all the facts and educating does though! My anger still is here for what happened that lil girl. My sympathy for her family and may justice prevail! 🙏🏾✊🏾🤎👑

Lil girl? She was 16-years-old and quite large for her age. She wasn’t a child or a little girl, as these idiots keep trying to make her out to be. She was a nearly grown woman and was trying to stab another teen! What is so damn hard to understand about this?
He also tweeted this a little while ago trying to cya:
I’m so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police. I took the tweet down because its being used to create more hate -This isn’t about one officer. it’s about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism. I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY

Being used to create more hate and more racism? Seriously? The tweet itself was FULL of hate. He put that officer’s life in danger by tweeting this. And it didn’t go unnoticed:
Lebron James is inciting violence against an Ohio police officer.
This is disgraceful and dangerous.
Is the NBA okay with this? Is Twitter?

On behalf of pro athletes, current and former, I apologize for how #LeBronJames just showed his inner Maxine Waters and made a very real, ongoing threat to the life of the officer who quickly acted to prevent a knife attack from becoming worse. Many of us appreciate what LEOs do!

I had to look three times to confirm that LeBron James tweet is real.
We’re in dangerous territory, America.

LeBron James, like other elites, is using racial division as a distraction as elites reshape America to be more like communist China. Elites prefer communism. Millionaire elites are protected by communism. They're the "Talented Tenth" W.E.B. Du Bois promoted. You're being played.

What we're experiencing isn't a racial conflict. Race is being used to divide and fool the 90% of us who have foolishly come to take American freedom for granted. The elites are imposing rigged communist system. I come from nothing. Only in America. #DonKingWasRight
