The book is set to be titled, \u201cNever Off Duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Silvester became an internet sensation when he mocked James for\u00a0seemingly targeting and threatening a police officer who saved a young black girl\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you don\u2019t care if a black person kills another black person, but you do care if a white cop kills a black person, even if he\u2019s doing it to save the life of another black person?\u201d Silvester says in the now-viral TikTok video, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/marshals-deputy-who-mocked-lebron-james-now-under-investigation-for-viral-video\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported. \u201cI mean, it doesn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense, but then again, you are really good at basketball, so I guess I\u2019ll take your word for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Silvester was publicly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/marshals-deputy-who-mocked-lebron-james-now-under-investigation-for-viral-video\">condemned<\/a> by the\u00a0Bellevue Marshal\u2019s Office, and a GoFundMe account set up for the officer by a friend claimed Silvester was suspended without pay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bellevue Marshal\u2019s Office is aware of the extreme controversy regarding Deputy Marshal Silvester\u2019s viral TikTok. 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>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/please-help-officer-nate-silvester-recover-his-pay?utm_campaign=p_cp_url&#038;utm_medium=os&#038;utm_source=customer\">GoFundMe<\/a>\u00a0account for Silvester is now nearing $500,000. The officer told KTVB that he plans on giving some of the funds to the <a href=\"https:\/\/1strcf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Responders Children\u2019s Foundation<\/a>, as well as provide scholarship funds for displaced police officers.<\/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>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><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-gofundme-blows-up-for-officer-suspended-for-mocking-lebron-james-officer-reacts\">WATCH: GoFundMe BLOWS UP For Officer Suspended For Mocking Lebron James; Officer\u00a0Reacts<\/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.
