LA police officer who posted letter to LeBron James reveals why he did it
Fox News
A Los Angeles police officer whose open letter to LeBron James following the Ma'Khia Bryant shooting went viral explained in an exclusive interview with Fox News what moved him to post it.
"I did not want to be a police officer at all. Being young and African American growing up in the late 80s and 90s, which were very violent and turbulent times, I thought that the police were basically our natural enemy," Joseph said. "It's almost like a rite of passage — if you're African American, you have to hate the police." However, with no other job prospects, Joseph opted to join the LAPD after his family business shut down following the Rodney King riots.More Related News
