Deputy Marshal Silvester mocked tweets LeBron James made after the shooting death of Ma Khia Bryant in Ohio
James tweeted YOU RE NEXT with a picture of Columbus Police Officer Nicholas Reardon who shot and killed Ma Khia Bryant
Bellevue Mayor Ned Burns wrote Silvester was terminated from the Bellevue City Marshal s Office for continued policy violations

James had threatened Columbus Police Officer Nicholas Reardon, tweeting, YOU RE NEXT alongside a photo of the officer, after he shot and killed Bryant in April when she endangered the lives of multiple civilians with a knife. However, James later said he regretted the tweet.
I fueled the wrong conversation about Ma’Khia Bryant and I owe it to her and this movement to change it. Thank you @fabiolacineas for educating us about Ma’Khia and her story and why this needs to be about her. https://t.co/Owh1vDJWXi#sayhername#Blacklivesmatter LeBron James (@KingJames) May 3, 2021
As reported by KTVB, Silvester has since signed a book deal with Di Angelo Publications and the working title of it is Never Off Duty. The officer s April 24 video began with him sitting in his patrol car pretending to tell dispatchers to bring on LeBron James to address an imaginary disturbance outside of his vehicle.
