James suggested that the police shooting was unjustified on the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on charges of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd.
“YOU ARE NEXT # LIABILITY,” the NBA icon wrote with an hourglass emoji over an image of one of the officers at the scene of Bryant’s shooting. James is accused by critics of using his massive Twitter to target the officer.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, RS.C., told Sean Hannity his Republican colleagues could block the Democrats’ “radical” agenda if they maintain their coalition.
President Biden’s ‘whole campaign was a scam’, Graham said of ‘Hannity’. “We now know that the agenda coming out of the Biden government is the most radical agenda of our lifetime.”
He later added: ‘I ask every Republican senator to come forward and tell our Democratic colleagues that if you try to change the filibuster or if you abolish the filibuster and succeed in this radical agenda, we will put every tool in the toolbox will use, we will deny you a quorum.
“Do not take this path, do not blow up the Senate, and do not blow up the country.”
