"You're using police security everyday" - Colby Covington roasts LeBron James for "putting targets on police officers' backs"
Colby Covington recently went off on NBA star LeBron James for his take on law enforcement in the United States. James has been a vocal part of the Black Lives Matter movement and has often been seen critical of the way police officers conduct business.
While in conversation with Bob Menery and co. on the Full Send Podcast, Covington offered his take on LeBron James' stance. Covington also spoke of his admiration for first responders, law enforcement, and emergency service workers at length.
While talking about the valor of law enforcement officials and police officers, Kyle Forgeard admitted that he failed to understand people who disliked the police. He argued that every profession had its fair share of poor representatives. Therefore, generalizing the hate against all police officers did not make any sense.
Covington suggested that James was also responsible for furthering the perception of hate against police officers. He also called out the hypocritical nature of his stance against law enforcement officials. Elaborating on those who 'hated on' the police, Covington said:
"That's why I laugh at LeBron James, you know. Like, dude, you're talking s**t, you're putting targets on police officers' backs but then you're using police security every day."
