Last year after posting a video on TikTok responding to or more like mocking Labron James (see below) former Bellevue Marshal deputy officer Nate Silvester became nearly a household name. The Idahoan earned some fast popularity and a friend of his started a GoFundMe page that racked in $544,295!

"I started this GoFundMe to help out my friend Nate due to his suspension without pay over a viral TikTok. As I stated originally, the future of his job is still unclear, so I started this GoFundMe to help him. He is the sole beneficiary from this account. Therefore, 100% of the funds collected from this GoFundMe account will go directly into Deputy Marshal Nate Silvester’s personal bank account. Period. They are 100% his to do what he wants with them. Period."

So what is Nate doing with the money? "He stated that he will put the money toward establishing a scholarship fund for displaced officers. A portion of the money will go to the First Responders Children’s Foundation." - Net and Worth Salary

The video has been viewed over five million times and is still gaining steam. In the video the officer, in full uniform has an imaginary phone conversation with Los Angeles Lakers' Labron James while he watches an imaginary fight between two Black men. "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 said in the TikTok. "I mean it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but then again you are really good at basketball so I guess I'll take your word for it."

He is now enjoying royalties from his published book called "Never Off Duty."

“Writing the book was one of the most rewarding and vulnerable things I’ve done in my life. It’s a very intimate account of some of my personal experiences as an officer. It also helps the reader empathize with officers and understand the dark reality of the day-to-day work they do. I’ve received so many positive reviews on the book from officers, their spouses, and non-law enforcement alike.” - The Gateway Pundit

The 'Dirty' TikTok Trend Taking Idaho By Storm

Why is the internet blaming Mormons in Utah and Idaho for this popular TikTok trend? Well, there's a lot of talk about here and it really goes back to the rules around caffeine. If you aren't familiar, for years, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints banned the consumption of caffeine. As a condition of church membership, nearly all addictive substances are prohibited and in Utah and Idaho where the Mormon faith is in the majority, it's just a well-known fact.

Now, in Idaho and in Utah, a "Dirty" trend has been put on display for all to see via TikTok and it doesn't matter where these people live or what they do or do not believe in...it's catching on because allegedly, it's TASTY!
