The statements made do NOT represent the Bellevue Marshal\u2019s Office,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BMO3100\/posts\/839852243279764\">said<\/a> a statement released last week from the marshal\u2019s office. \u201cThe Bellevue Marshal\u2019s Office always demands that our Deputies engage with our citizens in a friendly and professional manner. This is NOT how we expect our Deputies to act on duty or use city time. This is a personnel issue that is being dealt with internally.\u00a0We would like to thank everyone that took the time to reach out to us. We greatly value our relationship within our wonderful community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started this GoFundMe to help out my friend Nate due to his suspension without pay over a viral TikTok,\u201d the GoFundMe reads. \u201cAs I stated originally, the future of his job is still unclear, so I started this GoFundMe to help him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Silvester is said to be the sole beneficiary of the account, and he\u2019s already laid out plans to give back to the law enforcement community:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p><em>As stated in earlier updates by him, from there, Nate plans to give back to the police community at large, including the First Responder Children\u2019s Foundation I linked below. He still plans on donating a portion of the funds collected to that charity. Since this has become significantly bigger than I ever anticipated, and landed Nate on some major national news, he wishes to use this platform he\u2019s been given to help other officers in other situations similar to his, on a case by case basis.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The account detailed that\u00a0Silvester \u201chas spoken to his attorney to help him figure out how to best help him with all of this, since this is his first time ever being in a situation where he can help others and give back in this capacity. The details on how this will work are still not 100% clear because he\u2019s working on a few different ideas with his attorney, but he calls these \u2018Blue Funds\u2019 because he plans to use them to help other officers and their families at his discretion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a video post reacting to the outpouring of support, Silvester heaped praise on those backing law enforcement during these times where officers are routinely vilified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vast majority of people in our country are amazing, decent, honest, compassionate, generous people. We just don\u2019t get to hear from these people very often,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans still love their police officers, they still love their men and women in blue, and you guys have made that resoundingly\u00a0clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=uPDS6A0jav8&#038;feature=oembed\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=uPDS6A0jav8&amp;feature=oembed<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/marshals-deputy-who-mocked-lebron-james-now-under-investigation-for-viral-video\">Marshal\u2019s Deputy Who Mocked LeBron James Now Under Investigation For Viral\u00a0Video<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
