California AG Rob Bonta announces teams to investigate deadly police shootings
LOS ANGELES - California Attorney General Rob Bonta opened field offices in the state to investigate deadly police shootings of unarmed civilians within the state.
Bonta made the announcement Wednesday, saying law enforcement agencies in the state must notify the Department of Justice about any fatal police shootings of unarmed citizens.
The Attorney General will have two teams, one for Northern California and one for Southern California, and two field offices will be opened in Los Angeles and Riverside. The announcement is the result of Assembly Bill 1506, a new law that took effect July 1.
James ended up replacing the deleted tweet with one that simply read “accountability.”
The letter Officer Joseph wrote to James a few days later detailed what the job of a police officer sometimes entails and asked James to listen and learn to the perspective of a black officer who knows the vast majority of police officers are not the monsters James and others on the left make them out to be.
As of this writing, James has not responded to Joseph’s request. But that has not kept the veteran officer from continuing to speak out. He appeared on Fox News yesterday and continued with his mission to get James and other high profile critics of law enforcement to understand the other side of the story:
LAPD Union Asks NBA to Investigate LeBron over Tweet Targeting Cop
30 Apr 2021
The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL), the union representing LAPD officers, has asked the NBA to investigate LeBron James over his tweet targeting a Columbus cop.
James came under intense fire last Wednesday after he posted a pic of a police officer present at the Ma’Khia Bryant shooting with a caption that read, “YOU’RE NEXT.”
James quickly deleted the tweet, but a screenshot remains.

As we previously reported, LeBron James tweeted a threat against the Columbus, Ohio police officer who shot Ma’Khia Bryant while she was trying to stab another girl.
He later deleted the threat.
LeBron James has now deleted the tweet calling for the cop to be arrested for shooting the woman armed with a knife, but don’t worry. The internet is forever.

As we noted, one police officer pointed out how nonsensical LeBron’s tweet was, showing James had no understanding of police work or how quickly the Columbus officer had to respond to save the life of the other black girl. Another officer, this one from the LAPD, Deon Joseph, reached out to James, offering to talk to him about police work and give him some further understanding. As far as we know at this point, James has not responded to Joseph.
