The police officer who posted a hilarious video mocking LeBron James has been suspended from his job over the harmless joke. Nate Silvester, a detective in Twin Falls, Idaho, aims to “humanize the badge” with his funny and topical posts on TikTok.
According to Silvester’s best friend, Gannon Ward, the city did not find the officer’s video as funny as millions of us did and have suspended him for a week. While he is currently still employed, angry leftists are definitely trying to change that.
In the parody video responding to James threatening a police officer who had to shoot a teenage girl to protect another young woman who was about to be stabbed by her, Silvester staged a mock call to the basketball player for help deciding what to do while witnessing a black man stabbing another black man.
“Dispatch, I’ve arrived at that disturbance. Will you have LeBron James call my cellphone right away please? Thank you,” the detective says.
Silvester goes on to pretend that he is asking an assailant to “please put the knife down” and “stop stabbing him” while he waits for James to call.
“Hold on, it’s LeBron,” Silvester says. “LeBron, hey, yeah it’s me again. Listen, I’m out here at this disturbance call and there’s a guy trying to stab another guy with a knife. What do you think I should do?”
The detective then alludes to James asking what the races of the people involved are.
“Why does that matter? Okay, well, they’re both back,” he says, before again stating that one guy is trying to stab another guy with a knife. “Deadly force is completely justified,” he notes.

Probably bored in Twin Falls anyway.
Be funny if he runs for sheriff next time around. Might win and that’d really bug ‘em.
The IF cop is WAY smarter than LeDummy.
TF, my bad.
When will adults learn to stay off facebook, Twitter and whatever Tick tock is.
The stabber is LeBron hero
It's a day of reckoning which is long overdue.
The city Legally suspended him for why ??
Don’t care the short term of his suspension, he should sue the Department and especially the city leaders PERSONALLY !
Time for a full-scale “Blue Flu” s out-sick action.
Probably recorded the video in a police car on company time without express permission to do so.
‘K.
Make the city make that idiotic claim in court.
Of course, you and I know it’ll pass muster in 9th Circuit.
Do it anyway.
I’ll chip in.
“Anyone who knows me well knows that the kind hearted moose of a man”
Hey, why doesn’t he get a pass for being a “gentle giant”?
For some reason, Nate Silverman keeps popping into my head...
I don’t feel bad for the guy nor should anyone else. You’re a cop and do something like that, in these times, you know you’re getting in trouble, if not fired. He brought this on himself.
And if you do not know that, then you’re too stupid to have a job as a cop.
You’re dumb enough to do it in a uniform, in a patrol car then reap what you sow.
But yes, Jordan is the GOAT.
He was suspended? OMG, no wonder the DemonicRats started Cancel Culture.
YEAH, we should all whimper and cower in the face of extreme SJW idiocy, and not ever DARE to even mildly push back with so richly deserved gentle mockery of Left/Dem/msm/prog asininity.
