SHAQ FOR PRESIDENT ?!
The 7-foot-1 O’Neal has been a deputy marshal in Lafayette, La., a reserve police officer in Florida, and he was sworn in as a sheriff’s deputy in Clayton County last year.
O’Neal shared some of his motivation and philosophies about law enforcement with The Washington Post:
It’s just a disconnect between people and police that I haven’t seen in a long time.”
“The gap between law enforcement and communities is too spread out. When I was coming up, police were real respected. I don’t know how it’s gotten so far apart, but I know in the community that I live in, I know that I could change some of that.”
“The plan is to really preach accountability, to really preach respect and really teach to treat people as human beings.” You can’t tase an old lady. For example, you can’t put a 6-year-old in handcuffs. Can’t do it. Not going to do it.”
