Activists want LeBron to sit out games in response to Tamir Rice grand jury decision

LeBron James has shown he's not afraid to address social issues in the past. He's being asked to express himself again. 

Using the hashtag #NoJusticeNoLeBron, a group of activists is calling on the Cavaliers star to sit out games until two Cleveland police officers face charges in the 2014 shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. A grand jury on Monday declined to indict the officers.

Rookie officer Timothy Loehmann, who fired the fatal shots, and his partner, Frank Garmback, are on restricted duty and will face a new administrative review, Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson said Tuesday. 

James, who is from nearby Akron, has not responded to the request. He played Tuesday night and led the Cavs to a 93-87 win over the Nuggets in Denver. 

He has been selectively vocal about issues in the past, including the death of Trayvon Martin. Weeks after Rice's death, he said the shooting showed "how much further we still have to go" with regard to incidents involving police.
