My biggest concern is that the most famous and outspoken player in the league, who seems to have a wide swath of our population believing his comments, seems to be either be not very bright, or just deliberately disingenuous. Lebron is just continually inflaming things and making things worse and worse. He comments on situations immediately after they occur and before all the facts come out. And he pretends that the few horrible incidents that have occurred, and yes there have been such incidents, represent an epidemic of such events in the US, while in reality they are extremely rare.
In comparison to the number of these travesties, how many black lives have been saved by having the police presence in the US? It could be argued that hundreds of innocent black lives in Chicago would have been saved if they had MORE police on the ground. I just wish Lebron would be more circumspect and look at the actual facts before making unfounded and presumptuous pronouncements about specific incidents and police in general in the US.
