As we previously reported, LeBron James tweeted a threat against the Columbus, Ohio police officer who shot Ma’Khia Bryant while she was trying to stab another girl.
He later deleted the threat.
LeBron James has now deleted the tweet calling for the cop to be arrested for shooting the woman armed with a knife, but don’t worry. The internet is forever.

As we noted, one police officer pointed out how nonsensical LeBron’s tweet was, showing James had no understanding of police work or how quickly the Columbus officer had to respond to save the life of the other black girl. Another officer, this one from the LAPD, Deon Joseph, reached out to James, offering to talk to him about police work and give him some further understanding. As far as we know at this point, James has not responded to Joseph.
