A fundraiser for an Idaho police officer suspended over a TikTok video mocking NBA star Lebron James has raised over $85 thousand.
In the viral TikTok skit which received over 2.5 million views last week, Bellevue officer Nate Silvester simulated having to phone Lebron amid a fictional violent stabbing, after the basketball player criticized an officer involved in a shooting incident.
“The recent viral TikTok video of a cop calling out Lebron James has cost the cop, my best friend in the world, Officer Nate Silvester a suspension without pay,” reads a message on the GoFundMe page created Tuesday.
