Recently, kids in the Gainesville neighborhood in Florida had a run in with the police. Citizens called the police because the pickup game the kids were playing outside was ‘too loud’ and they wanted the cops to handle the situation.
Well, the kids instead handled the cops when the police stepped in and decided to hoop with the kids. The game didn’t go as well as the cops planned so they decided to come back with some big backup. Another police officer, part-time police officer, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.
It’s great to see police in the United State and the citizens of this country having fun and bringing in a big star to share in the excitement of a community coming together.
