    I'd be looking over my shoulder if I was that policeman.

    I can't understand this logic at all.
    The police force of any nation are there to uphold law and order.

    But she wants kids to be allowed to stab each other to death and the cops to let them at it.

    You couldn't make this stuff up.

    If only there was something a cop could do that wasn't either doing nothing or shooting a teenage girl 4 times... :rolleyes:

    Sadly I think the best thing a policeman can do now after attending an incident where a black person is shot is to turn the gun on themselves. Not a great return for a nights public service and **** pay.

    Why? Can I tell his home address from that. Looking over his shoulder for what? Accountability? Accountability.

    That's incitement to murder.

    The working class white man, saved a working class black woman from death.

    That he is a cop. Working class, etc is enough for the modern Left and theirs millionaire friends to hate him.

    They need a cause and something to scream about.

    Police are paid way more than anyone of similar levels of training but sure keep making stuff up.

    He could have secured Pink top Lady's corpse and called in with a description of the killer and her accomplice.

    The opposite. Was a fan of his til right up to now but that's just beyond the pale. If he was stupid it'd be one thing.

    Being harmed obviously.

    By what? By accountability?

    Did you see how fast he had to react, he done exactly the right thing with seconds to make a decision as to which one should be stopped, the one in pink or the one with the knife, good job by the cop, he should get a commendation for saving someone's life

    Any jobs that require a similar level of qualification to apply (usually graduating high school at the very most) and such a short training period (farcical compared to most other countries).

    They are incredibly well paid for their qualifications and time to train

    Someone in his tens of millions of followers might take this as a call to action. The rough location of this police officer is known already . If something was to happen to the officer then James could be held partially responsible.

    It's not beyond the realms of responsibility. Very irresponsible

    No. There is no threat here and that far from flies near any legal standard for incitement. Which, anyone who has followed US politics in 2021 knows what range of things do not meet that prosecutorial standard and, this is definitely not one of those times where LeBron has opened himself up to any degree whatsoever of liability. He posted a widely circulated image of an officer known to be in controversy and said he was next for accountability. LeBron didn't dox him didn't share identifying information, like a phone number or a photo of his home address, etc. etc. any one of a million people can take something to mean something but that doesn't mean those people are criminally liable if you decide to pursue a violent criminal act when they had no effective interaction with you.

    tldr Biko is trying to draw a connection to why the BLM founder's house tweet was problematic to the point of reasonable fear of harm and this is, frankly, not.

    So you have no words to actually try to present as an argument for how there is a threat of harm?

    I'm treating the drivel you're posting with far more respect and attention than it deserves. You're welcome.

    Pulled out a taser instead of a gun. Shoot her once rather than four times.

    He is lucky he didn't end up accidentally hitting the girl you're claiming he was saving.

    He's not lucky he's skilful with a gun.

    Actually yes.

    If this is okay and deemed politically defensible then I am not even batting an eyelid at that tweet from LeBron. An emotionally charged tweet but not one that was an exception to the first amendment.
