#LeBron James on Jacob Blake shooting: ‘We are scared as black people in America’

Hoops star LeBron James said it is “f—ed up” that black Americans are living in fear of getting shot by cops who appear to be gunning for them.

“Quite frankly, it’s just f—ed up in our community,” the Lakers legend said at a press conference Monday when asked about Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old Wisconsin dad shot in the back by a white cop in front of his kids.

“We are scared as black people in America. Black men, black women, black kids — we are terrified,” he said.

“You have no idea how that cop that day left the house,” the 35-year-old added.

“You don’t know if he woke up on the good side of the bed, you don’t know if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, you don’t know if he had an argument at home with his significant other, you don’t know if one of his kids said something crazy to him and he left the house steaming.

“Or maybe he just left the house saying that today is going to be the end for one of these black people. That’s what it feels like,” he insisted.

James said that Blake was only still alive “through the grace of God” after being hit with “seven shots at close range” in Kenosha on Sunday.

“I’ve got nothing nice to say about those cops at all,” he said of the officers who arrested Blake while answering a call to a domestic disturbance.

“If you’re sitting here and telling me that there was no way to subdue [Blake] or detain him before the firing of guns, then you’re sitting here and lying to not only me, you’re lying to every African American, and every black person in the community,” he said.

“Why does it always have to get to a point where we see the guns firing?” he added, saying “we see it over and over and over.”

James said it was just part of guns being a “huge issue in America” — and that for the black community, it feels like the only hunting is “hunting us.”

“There’s just too many killings going on. Not only from the cops, but we also have our own thing that we got to deal with, that we got to get better at as well, with black-on-black crime,” he said.

“We’ve got to get better at that as well.”
