Kendi defended LeBron James on Thursday morning after the NBA star targeted a police officer who saved a black girl from being stabbed this week, suggesting that the police officer who shot the attacker should have \u201cdisarm[ed]\u201d her instead.<\/p>\n<p>James, a left-wing activist, tweeted out a photograph of the police officer, writing, \u201cYOU\u2019RE NEXT. #ACCOUNTABILITY.\u201d James included an emoji of an hourglass, meant to signify that time is running out.<\/p>\n<p>Kendi \u2014 who aggressively promotes critical race theory, which the U.S. federal government has previously stated is \u201cdivisive\u201d and \u201cun-American propaganda\u201d \u2014 defended James during an appearance on CNN when he was asked to respond to James\u2019 tweet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this particular case, LeBron James spoke out, he tweeted a picture of the officer, the officer who allegedly shot Ma\u2019Khia and he said, \u2018you\u2019re next,&#8217;\u201d CNN host Brianna Keilar said. \u201cHe has since deleted that tweet. What is your reaction to that? Does that add to the tension? Is that appropriate?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s important for us to recognize that people are very, very angry and upset and outraged and people including LeBron James, you know, including others, they witnessed, you know, I don\u2019t want to speak for LeBron, but I know many people feel as if they did not witness police work,\u201d Kendi claimed. \u201cThey witnessed someone being killed and even potentially murdered. And of course, like with any other case, people are going to be outraged that someone did not come and de-escalate, the situation, disarm that girl, so everyone could have gone home safely that evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.4549356223176\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kendi chastises Columbus cops for shooting a girl threatening to stab two others: \u201cWhat would have happened\u201d if the attacker had instead been rich and white? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/60i7NC5BX4\">pic.twitter.com\/60i7NC5BX4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomselliott\/status\/1385191954036711427?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Backlash to James\u2019 tweet was so severe that he deleted it less than two hours after posting it. James later posted two tweets in response to the situation and did not apologize for what many said was putting a target on the back of the police officer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cANGER does [sic] any of us any good and that includes myself!\u201d James <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lebron-responds-after-his-youre-next-tweet-with-pic-of-cop-who-saved-girl-does-not-apologize\">said<\/a>. \u201cGathering all the facts and educating does though!
