An Idaho police officer who was placed on administrative leave for mocking basketball star LeBron James returned to work on Thursday after landing a book deal, it has been revealed.

The Bellevue Marshall's Office, the local police department, put deputy Nate Silvester on leave last Tuesday after he went viral on TikTok for mocking tweets the Los Angeles Laker had made after the shooting death of Ma'Khia Bryant in Ohio.

The four-time NBA championship winner had tweeted 'YOU'RE NEXT' with a picture of Columbus Police Officer Nicholas Reardon who shot and killed Bryant in April. He has since said he regretted the tweet.

The outlet noted that [Silvester] made another video posted to TikTok on Tuesday in which he said he does not plan to apologize for the April 24 video.
 
'I've been asked a few different times whether or not I regret posting the LeBron TikTok and if I think I should apologize. My answer? Unequivocally, hell no,' Silvester said in the second video.
 
This is how you deal with mouthy bullies. No surrender, no retreat. Other officers besides Silvester have piled on, and Lebron blinked and went to backpeddling. Bet that pinhead wasn't expecting backlash to gain traction like that.

Yup. Never apologize, never temporize, because you'll never satisfy them anyway.
