This is how cops should be. On top of that, Shaq is an amazing guy with a heart that matches his size.

Office White, thank you for remembering what it was like to be a kid again. Just the fact you showed these kids respect and jumped in their shoes is incredible. What you (and your department) and Shaq did for these kids changed their lives! A little respect goes a long long way!!

I really love that Shaq told them that this was a one-off and that they should normally never take money from strangers. That shows what kind of a man he is.

Ok, no fair, I cried the whole time watching this. These kids will never forget this day! That's a game-changer for some of them. Much respect to the officer and Shaq!

This is amazing. I had some tears. I'm just passionate about kids and love when people help guide them in a positive direction. When I graduate I plan on being a youth service center coordinator. I love all the kids!

Imagine if that were Kanye he would've taken the ball and slam dunk on the little kids

This is great. The 2 people who disliked it must be the ones who reported the kids. LOL

Lol "Steph Curry!" - Shaq is still the funniest.

If police actually connected with communities like this especially disadvantaged communities, I don't think we would be saying as many problems in regards to law enforcement in this country.

A fabulous gesture. I do hope the kids take his advice to heart.
