Chick with a knife tried to kill other chicks. Cops shot her. LeBron James is an idiot.Whats the go with the Ma'Khia Bryant shooting?
You're missing a pointChick with a knife tried to kill other chicks. Cops shot her. LeBron James is an idiot.
Yup. But LeBron didn't say that. He posted a photo of the guy saying, "you're next", and when people criticised it he still acted like she was the victim and the officer was a murderer.You're missing a point
There wasn't much the cops could do to avoid shooting in this one.
Yeh wtf was with Lebron saying that?Yup. But LeBron didn't say that. He posted a photo of the guy saying, "you're next", and when people criticised it he still acted like she was the victim and the officer was a murderer.
What happened to her is a trajedy, but nothing else the police could do.
I think they raise valid points here, while accepting this particular case is complex and not straight forwardYup. But LeBron didn't say that. He posted a photo of the guy saying, "you're next", and when people criticised it he still acted like she was the victim and the officer was a murderer.

Eh, it's a bit nuanced if you look at it from both sides.I think they raise valid points here, while accepting this particular case is complex and not straight forward
I think Anna was pushing that narrative until cenk stepped in and said it's more complex.Eh, it's a bit nuanced if you look at it from both sides.
LeBron was never inciting violence like many of the right wingers suggested. He was just saying that the officer would be the next charged for killing a black teen. But, the video you shared says at the start, "They have non-lethal weapons, you don't immediately have to go to a gun", which they obviously covered in their other discussion of this but.. did they actually watch the video.
I never worked for the police force, but I did military training in the reserves. I don't know that much about the non-lethal weapons officers use, but I know that the only main-stay for these officers is batons and tasers (if equipped)
In this case the person who died had a knife and was charging at a person. The officer was over 10 metres away and the assailant was charging in the opposite direction.
You know full well that I understand that these issues exist, but the officer had literally two options:
1) Shoot the assailant with the knife
2) Hold fire and hope that the victim survives a knife attack
There's literally nothing else the officer could have done. LeBron's tweet was put out when he didn't know all the facts. When informed of the facts he could have apologised, but instead he doubled down.
As per my previous post I think Anna was pushing that narrative about le bron not backing down from any situation (regardless of the context).This is the bipartisan problem I keep pointing out.
LeBron tweets a photo of the cop with the comment "You're next". LeBron gets hassled for doing that, and he doesn't apologise. He blames everyone else but points out that he did it because he's sick of the racism. TYT says that LeBron was always right and never should have deleted the tweet. They admit it's complicated, but they still say LeBron was right in abusing the cop and that he never should have withdrawn it and should not apologise.
This is the stuff that causes bipartisanship. You have the right wing saying that they are being stereotyped by the media. It doesn't matter that 99% of the media aren't actually doing that. All it takes is for TYT to stereotype the right wingers and blindly support the left even when they make a mistake (and that's exactly what they're doing here), and the right will use that to convince other right wingers that the left and all the same as TYT and LeBron.
The only way you get rid of the divide is by finding common ground. Not by making more enemies.
Bro please there's no equivalent to tucker Carlson. He's a beast of his own.Side Note...
The Young Turks are basically left wing Tucker Carlsons. They're more factual than Tucker but they push a lot of bias misinformation along with debunked pseudoscience.
Yeah. He has cornered the market on misinformation. But the Insiders on Sky News are getting close.Bro please there's no equivalent to tucker Carlson. He's a beast of his own.
Ummmm, dude. The stuff you quoted isn't in the article you shared. In fact, the article you shared says that the alternative juror said that she made her decision based on doctor testimony, but she was an alternative juror and had no effect on the case.Pretty much confirmation that Chauvin was never going to get a fair trial.
“I did not want to go through rioting and destruction again and I was concerned about people coming to my house if they were not happy with the verdict,” she said.
Alternate juror in Derek Chauvin trial says medical expert convinced her of ex-officer's guilt
An alternate juror in Derek Chauvin's trial told reporters Thursday that Dr. Martin Tobin, the soft-spoken doctor who explained how George Floyd died, convinced her of the former police officer's guilt.edition.cnn.com
The trial should have been moved away to another place away from where the crime happened and the jury should have been sequestered throughout the trial.
“I did not want to go through rioting and destruction again and I was concerned about people coming to my house if they were not happy with the verdict,” she said.
