Watch: Cops Mock NBA Star Lebron James with Satire Videos
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Uncensored Report, LLC
An Idaho police officer filmed a hilarious skit mocking NBA player Lebron James after the basketball star weighed in on a police shooting which prevented a young girl from being stabbed by another girl.
In a video that received over 2.4 million views on Tik Tok, Bellevue officer Nate Silvester depicts having to get advice from Lebron in the middle of a violent altercation.

“Dispatch, I’ve arrived at that disturbance. Will you have LeBron call my cellphone right away please? Thank you,” the officer says, while pretending to politely ask a knife-wielding maniac to “put the knife down, please sir,” and “stop stabbing.”
“LeBron, hey, yeah it’s me again,” Silvester says. “Listen, I’m out here at this disturbance call and there’s a guy trying to stab another guy with a knife. What do you think I should do?”
“Okay, well, they’re both black,” Officer Silvester pretends to tell Lebron. “One guy is trying to stab another guy with a knife. Deadly force is completely justified.”
“So, you don’t care if a black person kills another black person—but you do care if a white cop kills a black person, even if he’s doing it to save the life of another black person?” Sylvester asks. “I mean, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but then again, you’re really good at basketball so I guess I’ll take your word for it.”
“Michael Jordan’s the GOAT,” the cop quickly adds before hanging up.
In another video, another officer similarly mocks Lebron.

The officers’ videos follow Lebron James’ deleted tweet last week in reference to a video of an Ohio police officer shooting 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, who appeared to be stabbing people with a large knife.
James posted a photo of the officer involved in the incident with a caption reading, “YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY” and an hourglass emoji.
.@KingJames, with his vast resources & influence, should educate himself and, frankly, has a responsibility to do so, on the facts before weighing in. This is disgraceful & extremely reckless.

James’ tweet was likely deleted after he learned the white officer’s actions protected a black girl from being stabbed.
The video came amid tense race relations last week as a jury handed down a guilty verdict against former Minnesota officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd.
