    he gets that because he earns it with his stupid, low info statements. What I was saying is that normal people dont care what Lebron thinks of them.

    Yes they do or they would not be so upset and firing off these tweets.

    Most of them are straight up jealous of his money and his reach.

    That's what i was thinking also but it seems like as soon as he got out of the car he went with deadly force after seeing the knife .

    Mostly dummies who can't think for themselves, which this country has plenty of.

    I can understand why. The girl was a second away from stabbing the girl in the pink. Maybe a taser would have been enough to freeze her in place for the girl in pink to run away.

    One thing to put in perspective is that there are patrol cops in other countries like the UK that don't carry firearms and have routinely subdued knife weilding attackers.

    That is a strong possibility so with only second to react he choose deadly force.

    People would be b****ing so hard if the cop hadn't shot and the girl stabbed/ killed the other kid.

    True but I think we should as a society be able to discuss things with nuance without making the officer here into an enemy.

    But ya a lot of people have black and white perspectives where either this cop is evil incarnate or any discussion of alternate possibilities is dishonoring the hero cop.

    I think we wouldn't have heard about it at all if that was the case.

    This is exactly what LeBron said after the Heat lost to the Mavs with him playing a terrible series. That moment and this one are examples of the real LeBron.

    I wish the people who harp on a basketball player in this thread were just as vocal with the human who was the manager of the world's largest bureaucracy and had the largest bully pulpit on planet earth whenever he tweeted about an incident without understanding the context of the entire situation first for the past 4 years.

    But something tells me their b****ing isn't a matter of principle but a matter of cultural leanings and tribalism.

    And you know this how?

    What are you basing this on?

    Where do you see people that actually listen to him?

    haha. It totally is. Why do people who hate him so much continue to weirdly worship him?

    It doesn’t make sense

    Thats is not exactly what he said what evs.

    When has he ever tried to be anything different and why do these 2 moments explain the real Lebron and nothing else?

    Maybe because your biased and just don't like him?
