If I Played In the NFL or NBA in 2020, The Name On the Back of My Jersey Would Be "TEN"

The significance? It would represent the 10 unarmed black people (9 males, 1 female) who were killed by American law enforcement in 2019. That's it. 10. That's your total, in 2019, in a country where the total black population is roughly 40-42 million.
But, wait. The ACTUAL FACTS surrounding those 10 killings of unarmed blacks makes it even more difficult for the race-baiters, virtue-signalers, and America-haters to LEGITIMATELY claim that there is anything even remotely approaching a "cops are indiscriminately murdering blacks" narrative: Of these 10 shootings of unarmed blacks:
1) 5 of the "victims" engaged in attacks upon police.
2) One claimed to have a gun, even though he didn't.
3) One was brandishing a weapon from inside her home when police arrived (the policeman in this case was charged).
4) One was caught up in a crossfire.
5) Of the other two incidents, a policeman was charged in one of the cases.
I mean, even LeBron James should be able to do the Math on this. There is absolutely no epidemic of American law enforcement indiscriminately killing black people. IT IS A LIE. A MYTH.
Obtw, 20 unarmed white people were also killed by police in 2019. That's a lower number on a per capita basis, but whites also commit much less crime on a per capita basis.
Here's Tucker Carlson with a breakdown of the 10 unarmed black people killed by law enforcement in 2019. He starts the analysis at approximately the 2-minute mark. The volume was low for me, but it's still audible.
TRUTH

I believe you are overestimating LeBron’s math skills.

I wonder if they will allow "MAGA" on a jersey?...… Hhhhmmmm.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, #3 was absolutely egregious, and that cop should die in prison

BLack lives matter passes to James who passes it back to black lives matter who dishes it out to Equality for the 3 !!!!

Yep, and they only hurt their cause by taking such a factually unsupported position. I’d actually love to be on the side of demanding better policing, more adherence to the constitution, less militarization, but I will never join these people and I will stand with cops until their agenda ends.

Selective word choice there, she wasn't "brandishing" anything, she went to her window with a gun after hearing noises in her backyard. The trespassing cop saw her through the window and killed her. We all know the case, she wasn't a threat. They could have went through the open front door for the welfare check they were called for.

The policeman was charged in that case. You're really going to choose to die on that hill while overlooking the fact that the overall numbers are minuscule?

Lighten up, Francis, you're always so dramatic. Brandishing specifically means that a weapon was used in a threatening manner. She didn't brandish anything, she posed no threat. The cop murdered her, shooting through her back window. I overlooked nothing, I agree with your larger point. But there's also no reason to soft sell the fact that the cop murdered her with language that implicates her. She didn't brandish anything and you know that.

I doubt this. LeBron's not the sharpest tool in the shed, after all.

I agree with you, truth is truth. I also agree with OP. Both things can be true - the MSM and BLM cult have advanced a narrative based on a lie. The cop who shot the woman thru a window was 100% wrong. However - to attribute it to race is also 100% wrong. I honestly feel the cop would have shot anyone in that case, black white male female gay straight. It was a terribly unfortunate situation that needs to be deeply investigated so it wont happen again. Was it procedure, was it fear? Whatever it was, let's analyze all the facts and figure out how to prevent it in the future. It's not a requirement to put someone's head on a stick and parade them thru town in order to process a terrible situation. It seems to me the best way to honor a victim is for everyone to do everything in their power prevent it from happening to someone else.

Was this necessarily racism or just poor decision making by the officer? Too often with a white officer and black suspect it is presumed to be racially motivated which may not be the case.

Actually, I'm just trying to introduce FACTUAL DATA into the equation.
Sorry if that bothers you, snowflake.

It was not factual when you said she brandished a weapon. But you knew that.

Dude, you're a fricking idiot. We've had almost 1,000 police officers injured overa false narrative, yet your stupid arse is obsessing over a single word in a case where I said the police officer had been charged.
Go fuq yourself, simpleton.

“TEN TOO MANY”?
Did you watch the video? in half of these 10 cases, the suspects attacked the police. Another suspect lied about having a gun.
Hell, there's only about 2 of these cases that are debatable and both times the officer was charged. Where's the "epidemic" here?
