A Gainesville police officer handled a noise complaint about kids playing basketball in the best possible way.
For all the negative headlines surrounding
police officers and community policing these days, it’s
seriously refreshing when a video like this comes along and allows us to
restore a little bit of faith in humanity.
Some presumably miserable
person in Gainesville, Florida had the audacity to call the police for a
noise complaint about kids playing basketball in the street recently,
and the responding officer handled the call in the best way possible.
The person who called in the complaint must have been quite
distraught when the officer showed up and — instead of being a jerk and
shutting down the kids’ fun — joined in on the action, balling up with
the them for about 10 minutes. In fact, even more kids came outside to
play in the time that the cop was hanging around. Talk about your
all-time backfires!
Eventually, the cop bows out and
heads back to his cruiser, but not before lowering the rim and throwing
down a dunk on the neighborhood kids. As he’s leaving, he asks the kids
if they’re going to be playing around the same time the next day, as he
plans on swinging by and bring some “backup” to get a game going.
That is some good policin’, folks.
