LeBron James on Jacob Blake shooting: 'We are scared as black people in America'

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James reacted to the police shooting of African-American man Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Sunday by saying that the black community fears for its life. 'I know people get tired of hearing me say it, but we are scared as black people in America,' James said following the Lakers' Game 4 win over the Portland Trail Blazers at the NBA's bubble near Orlando on Monday. 'Black men, black women, black kids, we are terrified.' Blake was shot seven times by Kenosha, Wisconsin police on Sunday after officers responded to a domestic disturbance call. Video of the incident went viral Monday, showing police shooting the 29-year-old father in the back as he attempted to enter a van. According Blake's attorney, Ben Crump, his three sons were seated in the van and witnessed the shooting. Following surgery on Sunday, Blake was listed in serious condition at a Milwaukee hospital on Monday. 'If you're sitting here and telling me that there was no way to subdue that gentleman or detain him or just before the firing of guns, then you're sitting here and lying to not only me, but you're lying to every African American, every black person in the community,' James said. 'Because we see it over and over and over. If you watch the video, there were multiple moments where if they wanted to, they could've tackled him. They could've grabbed him. You know? They could've done that. And why, why does it always have to get to a point where we see the guns firing?' The officers involved are now on administrative leave, according to Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian. James was particularly frustrated that they weren't using the police body cameras that are currently being utilized around the country. 'Quite frankly, it's just f***ed up in our community,' James added. Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic... Original Video: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news...
