I appreciate officers like him. Get to know the community you work. Understand the people. Don't continue to be part of the problem officers!

All good unless the ball bouncing is in front of "your" house, and you are trying to get some sleep because you work the midnight shift...No, I don't find this wholesome.

Wayy too freakin cool!!! And whoever called the cops to begin with is just an asshole!!! They should have been glad the kids were just playing basketball. Anymore, it's fighting and shooting each other!! It's just sick. I think this is the BEST!!!

I have always said that despite the experience I’ve had as a black man good or bad for everyone crooked or racist cop they’re over 10 cops trying to get the job done the right way they just get over shadow by the negatives. So I take my hat off to them for the positives and prey for their families that they come home after their shifts

no complaints because they were worried Shaq might squash them like a bug and give the cop a 5 star review for being a decent person

I see this video was in Gainsville, Virginia. I am a resident with a big family in Virginia and a lot of younger cousins who are kids. I do love this video with the officer who played with the kids. We need more like him and less discrimination and brutality from officers and have O'Neil.

We are proud of you, Officer Bobby White!!! You deserve recognition. And Shaq, your showing up was fantastic, but not surprising. You show your respect and love repeatedly.

He is one of the best peace keeping officer in the community. The community will never target him at all. That what our officers do in our city. They interact with us. So people don’t see officers as enemies , but as good neighbors. Way to go!

Just kids being kids. Having good old-fashioned fun should be fun. A+ for you, Officer White, for understanding the people that you protect and serve. A+ for you, Shaq. Thank God for people who care.

All police officers need to learn a lesson from this one. Police officer. Every time you're called about something a bunch of young kids around, they just have a fun, and they don't need to be shot at or arrested

I love this video. See the person who called didn’t know that this day their negativity would turn into something positive for the officer and young youths. The youth were doing a positive thing getting energy out only for someone to complain. Kudos to the officer for taking the time to interact with the youths. Shack Great job as well for your act of kindness as well. This is a great human story to show…..there are definitely GOOD officers and humans who go above and beyond.

Who calls the police on children playing basketball on the road during the daytime? That’s just nuts. Has to be some angry person who thinks the world revolves around them.

perfect opportunity for Shaq to buy a plot of land for these kids and to build some nice courts for them to play on.. I'm sure he carries that type of money in his front pocket.. I'm sure that once words had gotten out he was planning on building the park. tons of people would have donated for that endeavor. probably would have costing just a fraction of the cost overall and these kids would be out of the street and the neighborhood would be at peace once again.. Good job! Shaq

I don't know why some people have to complain about everything. If this was happening at midnight, yeah, if I asked them to keep it down and they didn't, maybe I'd call. This was daytime, when are they supposed to play? What a great police officer...and I was so surprised when Shaq showed up! can you imagine how excited those kids were?

If this is true , cop, I tip my cap to you. My son was arrested for not leaving his school playground when a babysitter afterschool person told him to leave. My son 12 years old , thought he had a right to play b-ball and wasn’t doing anything wrong. He waited for the police thinking he could get a fair chance to stay and play if he told the cop his side . The cops smacked the ball out of his hands and took him to jail and roughed him up trying to make him cry. My son wanted to play for a few minutes bc our house had just had caught fire earlier and we didn’t know when we would be able to go home. My boy DID NOT cry! I was so proud of him. They could have listened to my son. Changed his life forever. That’s one reason I have nothing but contempt for cops. Why we put up with anything less than the way you handled is beyond me. I’d wash your dam cop car ! Bc you deserve respect bc you give it. That’s the law.

Excellent job by officer White.Ridiculous someone called the police because kids were playing basketball 😡Happy the officers came with proper attitude respect restraint also the kids were respectful too.No one should disrespect the police but also Police shouldn’t approach people with respect too.

What a welcome news story. I'm speculating that the person making the initial complaint probably didn't like the noise level, which probably was pretty loud, and I wouldn't be surprised if the "Karen" were white. The "basketball cop" 🏀 found a great solution, although I doubt if it reduced the noise level! Shaq's appearance was the icing on what was already a great cake!

Congrats to police officer. We need more cops like him. I met Shaquille O’Neil at my nieces HS graduation party. They graduated in same class. He was so nice he took pictures with all the guests. He was patient and gentle so cordial. He has to be one of the nicest human beings in the world have ever met

it's very cool that the officer did what he did! I had people playing basketball outside of my house for 15 hours a day! that bouncing ball non-stop for almost 15 hours a day is too much! I think that may have been the problem! just like if you're outside on a beach and someone's playing volleyball for hours and hours and hours and hours! but that's awesome that shaq got involved!

That’s cop is a true serve and protect officer as he protected the gentleman playing a simple basketball game. Shaq is one of the best kind hearted celebrities if not the best, and the original caller is just racist and I’m glad he was the one responsible for showing all of us what it’s all about.
