NBA star LeBron James has said that he “does his homework” on his political activism. In that case, he should take up the offer for tutoring being put forward by police officers to walk in a policeman s shoes.
The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund has offered to make a use of force simulator available for LeBron to try in Washington, D.C. The simulator does exactly what you would think: It plays out various scenarios that a police officer may experience, showing how you would react in situations that may call for anything from using lethal force to simply conversing with people at the scene of the simulated call.

A key law enforcement group, seeking to deescalate the widening gap between anti-police sports stars and police officers, asked Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on Thursday to step into a violent crime simulator and walk “in a policeman’s shoes.”
The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund offered to make a simulator available for the Black Lives Matter advocate the next time he comes to the District of Columbia to play the Washington Wizards. Police split-second force decisions are complicated. We would love to help you see the other perspective in our use-of-force simulator experience. Would be happy to bring it to you or host you in our D.C. metro office,” said LELDF President Jason Johnson.
Invented narrative fueling law enforcement woes

As the left and the social justice mob continue to attack the profession, police departments in major cities across the country are struggling to recruit and retain officers.
The Minneapolis Police Department is hemorrhaging officers in the wake of the death of George Floyd. As of the beginning of the year, it was on track to lose 20% of its force; almost 200 officers have applied for leave because of post-traumatic stress.
But the problem is not confined to the Twin Cities. Atlanta s force is down 13%, and Baltimore, Dallas, and just about every major metropolitan city is reporting similar losses. Jason Johnson of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund says the anger and violence coming from the left and other Black Lives Matter types is taking its toll.

A longtime law enforcement officer, who routinely defends the difficult job police officers face every day, says he was stunned by reactions after a police officer shot and killed a knife-wielding black teenager just as she was attempting to stab another girl.
“The officer literally had seconds to make a life-and-death decision,” Law Enforcement News spokesman Randy Sutton says of the chaotic scene outside a home in Columbus, Ohio, “and interpreted the facts exactly as they were.”
The fatal shooting of the 16-year-old attacker, Ma’Khia Bryant, was captured on the police officer’s body camera. The footage shows the officer fire four times as Bryant was moments away from plunging a large knife into the side of a second black teenager who was unarmed and pinned against a car.
