LeBron fuels the flame As Always

He needs to be fined/suspended....

But he won't, b/c Adam Silver is a gutless leader. 

You can't do that to a Police Officer who had to make a split second decision. We don't have a Police problem. We have a Parent problem.

I'm sick of him and all the others who claim everything is freakin Racist!!!

Sorry Covers, this should probably be in the general forum.  

@Dogjimbo

 No sir we have both as problems. Poor parenting is an epidemic which makes good police officers'jobs challenging.Bad cops make every one's lives difficult.

We have always had a few Bad cops, but LeBum saying that cop, "is next" is beyond stupid. I guarantee you that we have 100X's more bad kids; than Cops. I wish the Parents who's kid WAS'NT stabbed say something. 

Dummy deleted the tweet. So many people quick to judge, and quick to follow. Bunch of followers in the world brainwashed by social media. At what point would the cops actions be justified? Does the girl have to slice a throat before the cop can take action?

Basically the same thing as someone pointing a gun at someone in front of a cops face. Does the cop have to wait for that person to pull the trigger before he pulls his?

Lebron is an extension of Obumer, A race baiter !!!!!!!

@Dogjimbo

 You better hope you dont live long enough to have him as your president 20-30 years from now if you dislike him now...just wait how much you'll hate him later as he soaks up more political power over the next few decades 

Perhaps you old decrepit bastard$ should also keep your opinions to yourselves, and focus on NBA capping...LBJ has the right say whatever he wants in order to fight injustice and he honestly does not care if you old fools support him or the NBA...I will assume that you have no idea what it is like to be an African American since you have never walked in their shoes, or had to deal with the harassment that they often have to deal with often from birth...You are right, your  belligerent commentary has no place in the Covers NBA forum...Get a life, you old closet racist coots...and/or focus on capping...We don't care what you think...

But it's ok to support slave labor in China isn't it LeBum?!

When is Leborn going to say "you're next" to parents who raise shit kids?! How about Leborn helps educate people on how to be civil and then the cops won't be needed!

@LonghornHoosier

 You dont make sense. It's not a racial war with this particular subject. The officer arrived at the scene and had to make a split decision before another life was taken. You hear other perspective like he shouldve used his taser or go for the leg. As an officer you train to combat deadly force with your own deadly force defense to save yourself or another. Not everything has to be a racial battle

If lebums kids were the ones about to be sliced/craved up by a wielding knife he would shoot as well, or be ok with that cop that took actions.

this is coming from a “Minority” brown person, that’s me.

That cop did a good job, now deadly force? That needs to change.

but lebums is a wealthy fuck, he need to stick to his rehab and stfu ?? 

but let’s all chill and Capp and make money today keep politics away

If it was a choice between saving a life or killing the attacker, what do you do? Reaction time is fast and you don't have a lot of time to think about it. LBJ had time to think about what he wanted to say. I just believe he reacted before he thought everything out. Just glad he took down the tweet.

Man you please shut up

I understand that it was a split decision.  And perhaps the officer's actions were justified, from a legal sense.  I think LBJ's angst is the long history of excessive violence against African Americans.   I also think police departments train their officers to shoot to kill, so they won't have to worry about retribution from a person whom they have wounded.  Had the girl had a gun, then it would have been a no brainer, to shoot to kill.  But, a kitchen knife, come on man.  There must be another non-lethal method that could have been utilized.   I think LBJ's perspective is that police shoot to kill African American's and other minorities disproportionality to caucasians.  

DogJim: "I wish the Parents who's kid WASN'T stabbed say something."

Or the parents of the child in Ohio who was stabbed to death last week. I'm sure they wish that cop was there to save their daughter.

Pesky fact you will never hear on the majority of the media:

.02% of black homicide victims in 2020 were killed by a cop.

.02%

But hey, let's not look at or even mention the 99.98%, because . . . well, most people know why.

The rest won't see it even if you give them the facts and numbers, they're too invested in seeing life through race-colored glasses.

i bet if someone was holding a knife at his family he'd want the officer to shoot whether they were black or white. 

@Dogjimbo

I agree with everything you said, you couldn't pay me to be a police officer in this fucked up world. I use to think Lebron was the goat, I now know Jordan is the goat and that's FINAL!!! Lebron is quick to point the finger at white people, he never comments on all the shit that goes down in the black communities. Let his bitch ass kids live in the ghetto and get hooked up with dope and crime and see if the clown still defends the trash he does.

@PLAYAAAA1969

 It is very simple, do not go to a black area with the police. Let blacks prove to us how much Black Lives Matter. See what the murder rate does in those areas. They don't pay taxes,so they are not paying for the police. So get the police out of their neighborhoods and let them sink..The cream use to rise to the top in America,but now its the trash(both white and black) that goes to the top.

that's just ignorant and racist...it speaks poorly of you and demonstrates your lack of character...

@LonghornHoosier

It's not a race war or war with police though. It's just the way things are bud, Africa had no backing in a world at war. You should be happy to be in America. If not then that's a problem and it's in your head. The land of the free. The land where anyone can work 2 full time jobs and save $10-20000 a year if they choose. If you need a new environment then get a new environment.

Policing is for a reason. It's because people are fucked up. And white people deal with the same shit. 

They're dropping viruses on us, poisoning our foods the water we drink, giving us cancer inflating money these are problems everyone has to deal with its a world at war man. Just learn to take care of yourself stop reading the news. Stop the tribalism shit too if some thug gets shot it literally has nothing to do with you.

My dad is half native American should I be going to war every day? Because they REALLY got fucked. If you think you got it bad man, my people's got genocided.

Somebody's really soft. Thanks for ruining America race baiter.

What about the family of the girl about to be stabbed to death.....

That cop is a hero IMO....

He saved another who's life was about to be taken and he did it by the book...

In my book...I would like to see Cops in the States shoot to maim instead of shoot to kill...

Far too many killings that are unnecessary...

Happens here too in Canada....

Making it about race however is wrong just as Ledouches comments were....

LeBron should be punished as his image is the NBA...

Or at least it was
