See what happens when you resist police and brandish a weapon? Now he’ll never walk again. Stupid move on his part. Now he’ll have all the time in the world to think about what he could have done differently. 🤷‍♀️

Perhaps someone should pull a knife on LeBron and see what is personal security team does

So Lebron supports a man carrying a knife, not complying with police orders and out with several warrants against him

See what Stephen Cury will comment about it😂

Who gives a shit what Lebron James thinks

Low IQ LeBron

The fact that this decision is up to one person is evidence of a system of governance that was never supposed to serve anyone but the 99%

Why is this a thing? He was armed (by HIS own admission) and disobeyed commands to drop the knife. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

When did LeBron get his law degree?

I Watched that press conference by the defense lawyer. What? Thats the DA? 😳

LeBron James is still China’s Lil bitch

Jacob Blake is the one who was running after the cops with a knife and the cops were running from him and yelling stand down, correct?
