Earlier this week, police in Gainesville, Florida received a complaint 
from the grumpiest person in the world  we're picturing Old Man Marley, 
only from Florida, so, like, ten times crazier  about kids playing 
basketball "loudly" on a neighborhood street.

.

Officer Bobby White responded to the call, and, after realizing there was 
nothing amiss (and because he has not let life's inexorable march to the 
grave wither his soul) he decided the best course of action was to ball up 
with the kids. In other words, he's the coolest cop in the world.

.

Officer White didn't leave without doing his duty, either. After playing 
basketball for around 10 minutes, which included lowering the hoop and 
throwing down a rim-rattling dunk, he asked the kids to do him a favor 
"Obviously I have no problem with you playing basketball, just if you can, 
just try not to be too loud, you know what I mean?"  and then said he'll 
bring some "backup" to get a game going.

.

"Wow," the Police Department wrote on Facebook. "One MILLION people have 
now seen Officer White's style of policing.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- If you're a Gainesville police officer, how do you 
deal with a noise complaint about neighborhood kids playing basketball too 
"loudly" in the street?

.

If you're Officer Bobby White, you shake off the cobwebs and show those 
kids exactly how it's done.

.

Dashcam video showing Officer White cutting loose to shoot hoops with a 
bunch of kids has gone viral since the Gainesville Police Department 
uploaded it to Facebook on Thursday. It piled up nearly 2 million views in 
less than 12 hours.

.

Officer White had been dispatched to deal with a complaint about kids 
playing basketball "loudly" about 5 p.m. Jan. 15, according to GPD. But 
the 911 caller must have been stunned by what happened next.

.

The officer, instead of admonishing the teens, can be seen grabbing the 
ball and dribbling it.

A Florida police officers response to a noise complaint involving kids 
playing basketball caught some big attention this weekend. No, were not 
talking about the 13 million views that caused video of the incident to go 
viral. Were talking about The Big Cactus himself.

.

Shaquille ONeal paid a surprise visit to the Gainesville Police Department 
on Saturday to praise Officer Bobby White, who responded to the report of 
kids playing basketball loudly in the street last Friday by approaching 
the teenagers and asking them, Can you believe someones calling to 
complain about kids playing basketball in the street? Can you believe 
that?

.

.

At the end of the video, White walks back toward his squad car and says, 
Im going to try to bring some backup out here tomorrow. Well get a little 
game going.

.

Little did he know his backup would include one of the greatest NBA 
centers of all time.

.

White returned to the scene Saturday, asking the kids, I told you I was 
going to bring some backup, right? Look at these big boys I brought. You 
sure you can take them?

.

Thats when ONeal, an Isleworth, Fla., resident, popped out from the 
drivers seat of an SUV, removed his pullover and said, Im about to bust 
yall up.

A police officer in Gainesville, Fla., is going viral this week for all 
the right reasons. While replying to a 911 dispatch noting noise 
complaints about a group of kids playing basketball on the street last 
Friday, the officer decided to play with the kids rather than yell at 
them.

.

The police officer, who the Gainesville Police Department identifies as 
Officer Bobby White, isnt the best baller around, but with a little help 
from a lower rim, he manages to throw down a sweet dunk. More importantly, 
though, We hope that [Officer Whites stye of policing] inspires other 
officers! the department posted to Facebook after the video accrued 1 
million views on Thursday.

.

We are overwhelmed with the amount of support. Officer White WILL try for 
a full game coming soon! the department continued.

By Friday morning, the Florida basketball video has been viewed more than 
4 million times and the momentum continues, as do the good vibes, the 
police department says.

About Shaquille O'Neal

.

.


Shaquille O'Neal

From Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O%27Neal

.

Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal (/??'ki?l/ sh?-keel; born March 6, 1972), 
nicknamed Shaq (/'?/ shak), is a retired American professional basketball 
player who is currently an analyst on the television program Inside the 
NBA. Listed at 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall[1] and weighing 325 pounds (147 
kg), he was one of the heaviest players ever to play in the NBA. O'Neal 
played for six teams throughout his 19-year NBA career. He was announced 
as a nominee for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on December 
21, 2015.[2]

.

Following his career at Louisiana State University, O'Neal was drafted by 
the Orlando Magic with the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft. He 
quickly became one of the best centers in the league, winning Rookie of 
the Year in 199293 and later leading his team to the 1995 NBA Finals. 
After four years with the Magic, O'Neal signed as a free agent with the 
Los Angeles Lakers. They won three consecutive championships in 2000, 
2001, and 2002. Amid tension between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, O'Neal was 
traded to the Miami Heat in 2004, and his fourth NBA championship followed 
in 2006. Midway through the 20072008 season he was traded to the Phoenix 
Suns. After a season-and-a-half with the Suns, O'Neal was traded to the 
Cleveland Cavaliers in the 200910 season.[3] O'Neal played for the Boston 
Celtics in the 201011 season before retiring.[4]

.

O'Neal's individual accolades include the 19992000 MVP award, the 199293 
NBA Rookie of the Year award, 15 All-Star game selections, three All-Star 
Game MVP awards, three Finals MVP awards, two scoring titles, 14 All-NBA 
team selections, and three NBA All-Defensive Team selections. He is one of 
only three players to win NBA MVP, All-Star game MVP and Finals MVP awards 
in the same year (2000); the other players are Willis Reed in 1970 and 
Michael Jordan in 1996 and 1998. He ranks 7th all-time in points scored, 
5th in field goals, 13th in rebounds, and 7th in blocks. Largely due to 
his ability to dunk the basketball, O'Neal also ranks 3rd all-time in 
field goal percentage (58.2%).[5]

.

In addition to his basketball career, O'Neal has released four rap albums, 
with his first, Shaq Diesel, going platinum. He has appeared in numerous 
films and has starred in his own reality shows, Shaq's Big Challenge and 
Shaq Vs..
