LeBron cop tweet ‘reckless, dangerous’: Fraternal Order of Police National VP
Friday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Fraternal Order of Police National Vice President Joe Gamaldi tore into Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James over his now-deleted “YOU’RE NEXT” tweet in reaction to the Ma’Khia Bryant shooting in Columbus, OH. The post was accompanied by an image of the officer involved in the shooting.
According to Gamaldi, James’ tweet was “incredibly reckless and dangerous.” He said athletes “should stick to what they are good at,” but emphasized that if athletes or anybody else want to discuss political issues they should do their research.
“I mean, it was incredibly reckless and dangerous what he did,” Gamaldi asserted. “And frankly, athletes shouldn’t be weighing in on political issues. They should stick to what they are good at, which is playing sports. An Axios poll actually says a majority of Americans agree with me. But, you know what, this is America. And if they want to weigh in, fine. But you have a responsibility with a platform that size to do your research and to get it right. He tweeted that out to 50 million people. It was dangerous, it was reckless, and it’s no different than Joy Behar going on ‘The View’ the other day and saying that officers should be firing off warning shots, even though that’s prohibited by every agency and flies in the laws of physics because what goes up must come down. But you have people weighing in on issues who are not doing their research. They’re talking about we should be able to karate shop a knife out of the hand or round house kick it. This is ridiculous crap that is not grounded in facts.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
