One police officer went viral after roundly mocking NBA superstar LeBron James for sharing a photo of the police officer at the center of a shooting of a knife-wielding 16-year-old girl.
The young shooting victim, Ma’Khia Bryant, was reportedly trying to stab others during an incident in Ohio last week, which the teen’s foster mother said stemmed from a dispute surrounding housework.
What are the details?
According to Newsweek, the video amassed more than 2.5 million views on video-sharing platform TikTok alone as of Sunday.
In the video, Officer Nate Silvester of the Marshal’s Office in Bellevue, Idaho, was seen mocking the basketball player while pretending to respond to calls from dispatch by saying that he needs to conference with James before he acts on calls.
The Post Millennial also shared the video on Twitter, where it has received 158,000 views at the time of this reporting, captioning it, “A policeman calls LeBron for advice in hilarious viral video[.]”
