Shaquille O’Neal To Lose Sheriff Badges
Published on June 24, 2008 by some guy · 5 Comments
And just like that, the Shaquille O’Neal era of Maricopa County law enforcement has ended.
After O’Neal lambasted Kobe Bryant in a “freestyle” rap, in which the word “nigga” was used, Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio stripped O’Neal of his ceremonial honors.
The whole situation is ridiculous. Shaq was about as much of a cop as I am a seven-foot NBA center.

I don’t get this. The man has been a rapper on the side for years. He has CD’s that you can find in the cut-out bin. I’m sure that he has said “nigga” on wax before.
Is the lesson here that you can put out music and still be rewarded cop status if you are a celebrity, just as long as you don’t use foul language through a PA system in a club?
I don’t think there is a lesson. Joe Arpaio is extremely conservative and Shaq seems to be kind of a doofus.
Obviously the police we’re either unaware of use of said word or that this is the first time used. When push comes to shove, it’s all shitty semantics.
it’s “were”, not “we’re”.
Yea I know, soon as I posted I realized it, but figured it wasn’t worth another post.
