OUTRAGE: LeBron James Threatens Police Officer

April 22, 2021 By The Editors

LeBron James, star basketball player, and internationally known celebrity took time out of his day to threaten a police officer and national guard member who saved a girl from a knife attack by shooting the attacker. Breck Dumas reports in The Blaze:

LeBron James publicly threatened a Columbus police officer on Wednesday, posting a picture of the officer’s face on Twitter to his 50 million followers with the message, ‘YOU’RE NEXT.”

The image of the officer was captured from video in the aftermath of the fatal police shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant from the day before, when an officer intervened as Bryant attacked another young woman with a knife.

What are the details?

Bryant was shot at around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and can be seen on bodycam footage in an altercation with one female and shoving her to the ground before swinging a knife at a second female.

The officer responding to the scene fired at Bryant before she stabbed the second woman, and Bryant later died at a hospital.

Despite the footage showing Bryant attacking others with a deadly weapon, James targeted an officer on the scene, blasting out the officer’s picture with the message, “YOU’RE NEXT” with an emoji of an hourglass and the hashtag, “#ACCOUNTABILITY.”

Note: TheBlaze has edited the officer’s face out of the image below.

James’ tweet was deleted more than an hour later, as others on Twitter expressed fury over his threat.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted in response, “Lebron James is inciting violence against an Ohio police officer. This is disgraceful and dangerous. Is the NBA okay with this? Is Twitter?”

Outkick founder Clay Travis replied to James, “Did you even watch the video, bud? He shot a woman armed with a knife trying to kill an unarmed person! Here’s his perspective. This is even more shameful than you shutting up and dribbling for your boy Chairman Xi in China.”

Conservative writer Carmine Sabia told the Los Angeles Lakers star, “You are a buffoon. He saved a black girl from being murdered. Believe me he will not even lose his job for it. He did his job. You should be in prison for endangering this man’s life. Give up your police protection LeBron. Then you can allow teens to stab you if you want.”

The National Fraternal Order of Police responded, “.@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.”
