Shaquille O'Neal Assists Police In Hate Crime Arrest

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Shaquille O'Neal provided an assist to police over the weekend, trailing a man who allegedly assaulted a gay couple before alerting an arresting officer.

The 7-foot-1 Miami Heat center, who is in the process of becoming a Miami Beach reserve officer, was driving on South Beach around 3 a.m. Sunday. He saw a passenger in a car yell anti-gay slurs at the couple, who were walking, said Bobby Hernandez, a spokesman for the Miami Beach Police Department.

2. Somehow I think I WOULD be intimidated

if the cop that walked up to me was 7 feet tall and 300 pounds of muscle.

4. Whoa! No kidding.

Can you imagine looking up to Shaq's full height while he is staring down at you?

6. you just gotta know his weakness

which is free throws. don't know how to use that against him in this situation, but once someone figures out how, his cop career is over.
