Idaho cop fired for mocking LeBron James after star threatened officer killing

The Idaho cop who went viral for a TikTok video mocking LeBron James for meddling in policing issues has been fired.

“I am the latest target of cancel culture,” former Bellevue deputy marshal Nate Silvester told Sean Hannity on his Fox News show Thursday, hours after he was fired.

“That’s all it is,” the officer-turned-viral videomaker insisted.

Silvester was initially suspended for his April 24 TikTok mocking the hoops legend, who was forced to apologize for incendiary posts about policing following the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant.

In his clip, Silvester pretended to have a phone conversation with the NBA superstar to get his advice while witnessing an imaginary black person trying to stab another black person.

“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?” Silvester said.
