LeBron James Ripped Online for ‘Disgraceful’ Tweet, Lakers Star Responds

The shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant triggered an avalanche of reactions. A lot of athletes condemned the shooting and criticized the police for their actions. There were also people who didn’t like these comments. TV personalities and celebrities criticized LeBron James for his attitude, and he responds to them all.

LeBron shared a photo of the police officer who shot the 16-year-old and wrote that he was next. This happened right after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin got his verdict. Chauvin is going to jail, and LeBron believes that the officer will have the same destiny.

The Columbus police officer shot Bryant as she was trying to stab another girl. LeBron was asking for accountability and some people don’t like it.

LeBron James responds to critics

Of course, the four-time NBA champion deleted his tweet to stop the violence and the river of deaths.

LeBron always does this. He addressed big topics and talks about social injustice and racism. He is trying to help those in need. We remember that he started off an initiative to give African-Americans the right to vote. More Than a Vote is a big deal.

Well, his recent tweet shocked a lot of people. Some say LeBron was threatening the police officer. On Wednesday, the public got to see the bodycam footage of the shooting. We all saw the 16-year-old wielding a knife and trying to stab another woman. The Columbus police officer shot her.

People called out LeBron for putting the officer at risk. He shared the photo of the man and we all know that he has 49.6 million followers. The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) responded to the tweet and said it was a disgrace.

.@KingJames, with his vast resources & influence, should educate himself and, frankly, has a responsibility to do so, on the facts before weighing in. This is disgraceful & extremely reckless.

The officer saved a young girl's life. No amount of gaslighting will change that fact. pic.twitter.com/GTHn1VAAlf

Jessica O’Donnell and other media pundits criticized LeBron.

Lebron James is speaking out because the wrong person died. If the other person was stabbed to death, he wouldn't be saying a word.

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.

King James deleted his tweet and even offered an explanation for his tweet.

Hopefully, the situation will get better. We deserve a better country. We deserve peace and a chance for a better life. Let’s see how will things go in the next few weeks.

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! ??✊???

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
