We have video evidence that a white officer saved the life of a potential homicide victim \u2014 a young, female black victim at that. And even this officer, a hero who saved a young life, has been attacked by those who seek to destroy the entire infrastructure of law enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>An infrastructure \u2014 we should add \u2014 which protects people who would otherwise fall victim to deadly violence on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>LeBron James can hide behind literal mountains of cash \u2014 and private security \u2014 and fuel the fires of hatred.
