LAPD Accuses Cop of Racial Profiling  - For the first time ever, the Los Angeles Police Department found one of its officers guilty of racial profiling on Monday. An LAPD investigation found 15-year police veteran and motorcycle officer Patrick Smith guilty of pulling over primarily Latino drivers based solely on their race. In addition, he misidentified the drivers as white in routine paperwork to conceal the fact he had a disproportionate number of stops involving Latino drivers.(Photo: Bret Hartman - Pool/Getty Images)

The Miami Heat\r - The man many called selfish after his much hyped televised "decision" to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat last year led a selfless act, encouraging his teammates to pose for this photo, that he later tweeted with the statement, "#WEWANTJUSTICE." James, who is the father of two young boys said, "It was very emotional, an emotional day for all of us. Taking that picture, we're happy that we're able to shed light on the situation that we feel is unjust." And fellow teammate Dwayne Wade, also a father of two boys, shared, "This situation hit home for me because last Christmas, all my oldest son wanted as a gift was hoodies. So when I heard about this a week ago, I thought of my sons. I'm speaking up because I feel it's necessary that we get past the stereotype of young, Black men." A powerful statement from Trayvon Martin's favorite NBA team.\r(Photo: Lebron James via Twitter)
