Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James posted and later deleted a tweet responding to the fatal police shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant, a 16-year-old Black girl in Columbus, Ohio. In a series of tweets Wednesday afternoon, James explained why he deleted the tweet.
ANGER does any of us any good and that includes myself! Gathering all the facts and educating does though! My anger still is here for what happened that lil girl. My sympathy for her family and may justice prevail! ud83dude4fud83cudffeu270aud83cudffeud83eudd0eud83dudc51

I'm so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police.
