Idaho cop mocks lebron james in tiktok professional#
"The Bellevue Marshal's Office always demands that our deputies engage with our citizens in a friendly and professional manner.

"The statements made do NOT represent the Bellevue Marshal's Office," the statement read. Responding to the ordeal, the Bellevue Marshal's Office said in a statement on Facebook that it was aware of "the extreme controversy" of Silvester's viral TikTok video, which did not align with the department's ethics. During the incident, she allegedly attacked others with a knife. "I mean it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but then again you are really good at basketball, so I guess I'll take your word for it."Ĭonsidering the context, the fake stabbings he mentions appear to be in reference to the death of Bryant, a 16-year-old girl who was shot four times by a white police officer in April. "So you don't care if a black person kills another black person, but you do care if a white cop kills a Black person, even if he's doing it to save the life of another Black person?" he says on his cellphone, according to New York Post. In his video, Silvester pretends to seek advice from LeBron regarding a fake scenario involving one Black man trying to stab another black man. Hours later, he told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Thursday that he was "the latest target of cancer culture," adding his LeBron TikTok video "struck a political nerve" that piqued the interest of the department, which "came up with forms of discipline."

Nate Silvester, who had been on suspension since April, was fired Thursday from the Bellevue Police department. An Idaho cop has been fired for a viral TikTok video in which he mocks LeBron James' reaction to the police shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant.
