Washington Post reported the 2019 stats. 9 unarmed blacks were killed by police; 19 unarmed whites were killed by police. You only know about the blacks because the media are making money off their deaths. Ghouls. Considering that the crime rate for young black men is 6x higher than for white men, which group is more often killed? There are millions of encounters (61.5 million, more with whites than blacks) between police and citizens/non-citizens in a year. Traffic stops and domestic violence calls probably put their lives in danger every day. Being killed by police rarely happens to either white, black or Hispanics unless they are avoiding arrest, and they aren't under suspicion for a crime unless someone has contacted the police. Someone had called police about the 16 year old attacking people with a knife. LeBron needs to stick to bouncing and throwing balls for a living because he wouldn't last a week on the police force. If he really wants accountability, read the crime reports.
About 61.5 million residents had at least one contact with police.
Twenty-four percent of residents experienced contact with police, up from 21% in 2015.
Whites (26%) were more likely than blacks (21%), Hispanics (19%), or persons of other races (20%) to experience police contact.
There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of whites (12%) and blacks (11%) who experienced police-initiated contact BJS NCJ 255730

LeBron James has a gazillion dollars, but won't criticize China which actually has slaves, but he will demonize his own country. He'd probably loose his "franchise" if he had to tell the truth about race in America. I can't believe he calls himself "King James." He was probably watching NBC which edited out the knife in the video they showed their viewers.
