LeBron James Irresponsibly Tries to Ruin Police Officer's Life With Tweet

LeBron James is a buffoon. For years, he has used his power and incomplete information to tell his worshippers the country is evil. Today, he used that power, that platform, to spread a lie and put a police officer in danger.

LeBron tweeted to his 50 million followers a full photo of the police officer* who fatally shot Ma’Khia Bryant in Ohio, saying the officer is "next." By "next," he means a prison sentence for perhaps the rest of his life, a la Derek Chauvin. What LeBron fails to mention, or probably does not even know, is that the officer shot Bryant to save the life of the girl she was about to stab and kill. The officer did his job.

Though the officer saved a life, LeBron tweets out the full image of him to ensure no matter what events follow, this man will have a target on his back. Because of LeBron, the officer will never be able to walk in public safely again. You might ask, "What if he isn't charged?" LeBron is one of the most influential individuals in the world. No matter what, millions of his fans will believe what he says. It takes just one, and LeBron just convinced millions with a lie.

This is shameful. The NBA should address this, but it won't. Like LeBron, the NBA and all its minions in the media are cowards.

UPDATE: LeBron has deleted the tweet. Maybe he should've read the story before commenting?

*No need to report the officer's name.
