LeBron James ‘strongly’ reacts to disturbing footage of Tyre Nichols police incident
A 29-year-old male named Tyre Nichols died on January 10 in a hospital following another police brutality against a racial minority on January 7. A group of undercover scorpion police stopped his car at a traffic signal and beat the poor soul violently until he was senseless and in critical condition.
Police brutality against black people is still a regular incident in the USA, even after George Floyd’s murder back in 2019, which led to the then US president taking a stand, but, after all those histories regarding black lives, there seems to be no change in policing.
The recent incident again incites huge outrage throughout the nation, as well as various celebrity expressions of mourning and anger. After seeing the video footage of such violent, graphic police brutality, NBA living legend LeBron James also opened his mouth.
What did Lebron James say regarding Tyree Nicholas’s police incident?
A video of Nicholas’ murder was published last night and contains graphic and disturbing inhumane details. We caution you before viewing the video below.
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers expressed his thoughts on the matter in an insecure and irritated tone. “WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMY!!!” he tweeted.
WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMY!!!

More than 300 African Americans have died as a result of police brutality in the last decade, which is extremely concerning. It appears in a police textbook that a black man must be a criminal or involved in suspicious activities. However, there is no color in crime and no uniform in crime.
What’s really clear about some of the reaction to the murder of #TyreNichols is that we’ve failed to fully understand race and it’s construction as a *systemic tool.*
The entire system of policing sees the Black body as a problem. No matter who pulls the trigger.

The 18-time All-Star King James also shared the same perspective as he retweeted a human rights activist’s tweet.
TOO FACTUAL!!!

The King never backs down from calling a spade a spade. Previously, he publicly criticized the hypocrisy of the media regarding a millionaire’s questionable involvement in racial segregation protests.
James also showed no hesitation in criticizing and commenting on true factors in a fierce manner.
