Let’s start off with the fact that people shouldn’t just jump to conclusions as to what Amar’e Stoudemire meant by his Christopher Dorner tweet. He made a tweet saying Christopher Dorner’s manifesto is ‘interesting’ and ‘a must read!’ but he never elaborated as to what he meant by it.
Fans immediately started going at Stat for posting that.
Check out the tweet, story & link after the jump and let us know what you think about it. Hopefully he will tweet again with a clarification…

According to ERIK ORTIZ at NYDN:
Knicks star Amar’e Stoudemire is touting the crazed manifesto of ex-cop-turned-cop-killer Christopher Dorner as “a must read.”
The hoopster took to Twitter Sunday to reveal his interest was piqued by the 20-page rant Dorner left on his Facebook page, in which he declared war on the Los Angeles Police Department.
In his deranged decree, Dorner railed against corruption in the LAPD and portrayed himself as a victim of institutional racism, fired for crossing the thin blue line to report a sergeant for brutality.
LAPD officials found Dorner’s charges against the sergeant were bogus, but the case was reopened during the hunt for Dorner.
Stoudemire did not elaborate on his tweet. But many of the hoopster’s nearly 806,000 Twitter followers were taken aback by his reading recommendation. “Really?! A murderer’s hateful manifesto is worth reading?” wrote one follower.
