Amar’e Stoudemire said he tweeted a link to the manifesto of cop-killer Christopher Dorner not necessarily to endorse the views but to provide “information.’’
Dorner, a former policeman who allegedly killed two cops in a rampage, wrote a manifesto on his Facebook page ripping the LAPD for alleged corruption and charged institutional racism after he reported a police-brutality incident.
“Interesting. This is a must read!!” Stoudemire tweeted Sunday and linked the manifesto.
When asked why he called it a “must-read,’’ Stoudemire said yesterday, “It’s the information age. Anytime in my Twitter, I try to feed information to the people. That’s what my Twitter is all about, giving out information for people to read.’’
Stoudemire’s tweet, however, raised some eyebrows and created an adverse reaction from some of his 806,000 followers for seemingly promoting words from a murderer’s manifesto.
Happy Walters, Stoudemire’s agent, told The Post, “He’s saying to read what’s in it but he’s probably not supportive of it.’’
Stoudemire has gotten himself in trouble before on Twitter. Last year, in a direct message to a fan, he used the gay slur “f—-t’’ — and later apologized.
Stoudemire is not shy about stating his view on social issues. Last season, Stoudemire wore a gray hoodie for a month in honor of Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed near his hometown in Florida by a member of a neighborhood watch.
