Nate Silvester headed to social media platform TikTok regularly while still employed as a police officer in Bellevue, Idaho to voice his opinion on pressing issues related to law enforcement.

In one video aimed at James, there was a nod to the Lakers star's criticism of a police officer who shot dead a black female teenager in Columbus, the capital of his home state Ohio, in April. 

James, who comes from Akron, went on Twitter at the time and caused outrage by uploading a photo of the officer with a caption that read "YOU'RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY" alongside an hourglass emoji.

Clearly irked by this, Silvester starts his clip by saying: "LeBron, hey, yeah it’s me again. 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?"

Pretending to be in conversation with the court veteran, Silvester continues: "Okay, well, they’re both black. 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?," Silvester 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 is the GOAT," he finishes, doubting LeBron's sporting credentials in the debate over the greatest basketball player of all time.
