Hoops Not Crime

I was scrolling through Facebook and came across a video of an Police officer playing basketball in the streets of a neighborhood with some kids. Officer Bobby White was in the neighborhood to handle a noise complaint. After he had finished his job of being an officer, he saw kids playing basketball in the streets and went to join them. Officer white played with them then "called for back up" and when back up arrived Shaq was with the second wave of officers that arrived. Shaq played with the kids as well, and what could have started out has a very downhill event because very positive for the kids of the community. Officer White built a backyard basketball court for the kids to play on. On the court is written hoops not crime. I think that what this officer did and is doing is a great thing he is one showing that all police officers aren't what the media can depict them as, but also that he isn't out to harm these kids in anyway but there to help them. I think this is a great story and makes an  impact especially with all that has happened between African American kids/teens in the last few years.
