Officer Suspended for Viral Video Mocking LeBron James Lands Book Deal After Raising Over $500K on GoFundMe
After an Idaho police officer was suspended from his job over a hilarious viral video mocking LeBron James, a fundraiser for him raised over $500,000. Now, he has landed a book deal.
Bellevue police officer Nate Silvester was suspended for a week over his viral TikTok video responding to the basketball player’s threat against the cop who was involved in the fatal shooting of an armed teenager who was in the process of trying to stab another girl.
