It was unfortunate that celebrities (LeBron James, and those NFL players) were helping push the false narrative the liberal media was trying to present as fact. The whole hands up don't shoot was a lie from the beginning, and when some media was presenting facts race profiteers called it character assassination.

I don't have Twitter but I saw on the news that many celebrities post hands up don't shoot, with the celebrity worship culture we live in it is scary that people get information from a group (movie stars, artist, athletes) who are not in touch with the rwality we know and who generally aren't educated
