The cop who made the video about LeBron was fired this week. What is wrong with these people. Those were the mildest videos ever. This guy needs a job.

quote:

Last month Bellevue, Idaho, Sheriff’s deputy Nate Silvester posted a video mocking basketball star LeBron James for his ignorant Tweet about the death of Ma’Khai Bryant. Deputy Silvester’s video was funny and justified. After the video went viral, Silvester was suspended, but now three weeks later, he’s been fired.

LeBron is a public figure, and he is not immune from criticism, especially since he spews his own nonsense all over social media.

quote:

First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


Constitution.Congress.Gov


The left has figured a way to neuter freedom of speech without having to pass a single law.

I hope this cop sues the shyte out of the people who fired him and wins.

There's got to be an end of this woke BS.

Pathetic he lost his job but if that’s the type of pandering woke department he was working under then maybe it’ll be the best thing to ever happen to him in the long run.

How dare he make fun of noted social expert and Woke spokesman MaoBron!

Smh. Clown World.

I was surprised. Trump won Idaho big, only three counties were won by Biden. And Blaine, the county Bellevue is in with only a population of about 4K voted huge for Biden.

Boy sues, he better do it outside that county.

LeBron wants accountability

But no accountability applied to him...

The people who are trying to excuses this as “he shouldn’t have done this while in uniform, blah blah blah“ are really getting duped. Not only is he sticking up for his fellow officers, he’s sending a message to the public at large that LeBron James is a freaking moron. LeBron James is putting both officers and the general public at risk with his nonsensical questioning of taking out a knife wielding maniac.

The public officials who fired this officer are the same types of people who allowed antifa and BLM rioters to destroy public property. This attitude comes directly from the George Soros funding that put many elected city officials into power.

If this was the cop who made that video about LeBron James from his squad car while in uniform I can understand why he was fired. I'm in the military and, while we are allowed to say whatever the hell we want outside of uniform, our speech is severely restricted while in uniform. I imagine the same holds true for cops. Had I made a similar video while in uniform, I would have been disciplined for it. Had he made the video while dressed in civilian clothes I don't think he would have been fired.

The Sheriff's opponent needs to bludgeon him to death with this issue in the next election.

Dude got himself fired

When you play stupid games on tik tok/twitter/facebook/etc you win stupid prizes.

The first thing, he did this while on duty. He fricking knows better.

I'm all pro cop, but when you do stupid shite, you know whats coming, and i feel sympathy for him. He should start a gofund me, people would pile the $$ for him.

It is impressive that Democrats can get conservatives fired even in a rural area in a red state.
