posted by gutWho else cringed when Pelosi thanked George Floyd for sacrificing himself for justice?
I'm sure he didn't want to die. No one offered him up as a sacrifice, nor did he choose to be "sacrificed". Just seemed like a very awkward and somewhat insensitive political grandstand.
If it gets her in front of a camera, she'll say it. Few crave attention more.

Agreed
It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the other 3 officers. If the jury convicted Chauvin on Murder 3 that quickly, I'd say the other officers might be lucky if they only get convicted of manslaughter.
Will be an interesting debate. I don't know the specifics of Murder 3, but as cops they had a duty to intervene so it would be almost as if it was their knee. Again, the standard is "what would a reasonable officer do", and in this case that might work against them.

Meanwhile we have people doxing the officer and giving out his home address on Twitter and nothing happens to them

Yes, given Chauvin's verdict those three should work REAL hard towards a plea bargain.
I can see the State saying "No, we're going to trial".

Don’t worry. He took it down because it was being used to fuel more hate.
They cleared the cop like 12+ hours ago. Can Lebron refresh the news before he tweets.

You know things are really going to shit when an athlete with millions of fans, worth nearly $1B, still has to virtue-signal.
Lebron is the same POS he's always been since the "I'm taking my talents to South Beach". Get your facts right before putting a target on someone.
And what’s disappointing - but not surprising - is no one in the sports media or NBA will talk about it.

I heard it twice on my ride into work and its the top story on almost every major website

Lebron's not a POS. He made a stupid post and then thought better of it and took it down. I'm sure everyone has done something similar. Granted as a famous athlete, he needs to think deeply about something before posting it.
To me, this is evidence of the "wait until tomorrow" rule. If it's a brilliant post, save a draft and wait until the morning to see if that holds true. I wish I always heeded that advice.

I wonder if Chris Evans feels the same way, he never did delete his tweet about the teenage in DC

I'm just saying if POS designation comes from stupid posts, most are going to qualify - myself included.

I get that. Everyone is a dogmatic hypocrite, just to what degree. Some are aware of such, some try to work on it, some think they are above it.

This isn’t a cringe email you need to talk yourself out of sending to your boss or ex-girlfriend. This is going on Twitter to your 50 million followers and basically calling for the guy’s head. And, if he tried just a little bit harder, he’d realize he was wrong anyways.

Not sure who the bigger moron is, James or Pelosi.

That could be debated for hours.

No he's a hypocritical POS because he basically jumped right to "racist murder" solely on the basis the guy is a white cop. Which actually makes Lebron look like he himself might be a racist.
And he's a POS because rather than tweet an apology or correct the record, he quietly deletes the tweet.

Lebron is a POS for his stance on Hong Kong. He puts his money above everything else. Lebron could be one of the richest athletes without China and he is still afraid to take a stand against them. He lost his right to speak up on issues when he sided with China
I love the "I miss Michael Jordan" tweets
What a class act. Not a hypocritical POS at all:
