<p>LeBron James is coming under fire on social media for his response to <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/625982-moneybagg-yo-calls-for-justice-for-tyre-nichols" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the death of Tyre Nichols</a>. The 29-year-old died three days following a traffic stop by <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/624149-memphis-pd-address-death-of-tyre-nichols-in-new-statement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Memphis Police Department</a> officers. Video from the incident shows the offices brutally beating Nichols, who was hospitalized in critical condition afterward.</p>



<p>&#8220;WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMY!!!&#8221; James said in response on Twitter, seemingly referencing the officers being Black.</p>

<p>&#8220;He never moved past page 6 in that Malcolm’s book,&#8221; one user replied.</p>



<p>Another wrote: &#8220;You talking about the lakers? Because if you talking about this current situation bruh nah. Wrong time.&#8221;</p>



<p>James also retweeted a post from an MSNBC analyst that wrote: &#8220;What’s really clear about some of the reaction to the murder of #TyreNichols is that we’ve failed to fully understand race and it’s construction as a systemic tool. The entire system of policing sees the Black body as a problem. No matter who pulls the trigger.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;TOO FACTUAL,&#8221; James further added.</p>



<p>The video footage of the attack shows all officers repeatedly striking Nichols with their <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/625976-tyre-nichols-was-kicked-in-the-head-beaten-pepper-sprayed-tased-by-police" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fists, boots, a</a>s well as <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/625976-tyre-nichols-was-kicked-in-the-head-beaten-pepper-sprayed-tased-by-police" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">batons</a> for three minutes. Afterward, they rested him against a patrol car and didn&#8217;t provide medical aid for another 20 minutes.</p>



<p>The officers involved all face second-degree murder charges as well as charges of aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct, and official oppression.</p>



<p>Numerous other voices in the NBA have also spoken out on the attack, including NBPA president Chris Paul, who called for change &#8220;at all levels.&#8221;</p>
