LeBron James has tweeted then deleted a post on the police shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio, after saying it was being “used to create more hate”.
Bryant, a 16-year-old black girl, was shot dead after being called to a house where a confrontation was taking place. The killing occurred shortly before the guilty verdict was announced over the police murder of George Floyd, a case that had brought international attention to such crimes.
James initially tweeted a photo on Tuesday night of the white police officer said to have killed Bryant along with the message: “YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY” and an hourglass emoji. The NBA star had also tweeted “accountability” after the guilty verdict in the Floyd trial was announced.
