An Idaho cop mocked LeBron James in a viral video and was suspended after complaints HotAir

By Thomas A. Smith

Last week, LeBron James posted and then deleted a tweet containing a photo of the police officer who shot and killed Ma Khia Bryant along with the message YOU RE NEXT Even if you put aside the obvious problem that having a big star send this out to millions of people endangered the officer s safety, the problem remains that LeBron was assuming the shooting itself was an injustice that required sanction or punishment. But a lot of people simply don t think that s the case.

One deputy marshal in Idaho named Nate Silvester decided to make a satirical video mocking LeBron s response. It quickly went viral on Tik Tok and was viewed over 4 million times. I think they call this a clap back.
