THE SHAQ-KOBE SAGA TURNS INTO A CHEESY COP DRAMA
Just when you thought this Shaq freestyling story couldn't get any more hilarious, some random sheriff has demanded Shaq's badges back.
PHOENIX -- Shaquille O'Neal will lose his special deputy's badge in Maricopa County because of language he used in a rap video that mocks former teammate Kobe Bryant.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the Phoenix Suns center's use of a racially derogatory word and other foul language left him no choice. Arpaio made Shaq a special deputy in 2006 and promoted him to colonel of his largely ceremonial posse later that year.
"I want his two badges back," Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they're fired. I don't condone this type of racial conduct."
We've seen this story a thousand times. Young upstart cop tries to do the right thing (take out bad guy Kobe), but goes about it the wrong way. "That's the last straw!" says the sheriff and our hero has to hand in his badge and his gun. ("One month suspension! NO PAY!") But that's not where this story ends. Oh no. After a night of heavy drinking and moaning about how working on this case cost him his marriage, our hero then realizes that he can still get this bad guy. You see, our hero hears some low-level muscle (Rony Turiaf) talking about the big score his boss is going to make in just two days. Our hero can save the day. But who can our hero trust!? He can't do it alone, without his badge and gun! So, he enlists the help of a sexy young underutilized genius secretary at the precinct to track down some valuable documents. Then, after managing to convince his old partner, just a week away from retirement, to break the rules and help him, they go after the bad guy vigilante-style and our hero uses his battle-rapping skills to save the day. But will it be enough to get back in "America's Toughest Sheriff's" good graces?
Arpaio, who describes himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff" and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, said he didn't expect his actions would teach Shaq a lesson. But he hoped he learns that as a role model who wants to someday be a full-time sheriff, he needs to know his words matter.
"Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't think that either conduct should be out there publicly, even if media wasn't there," Arpaio said.
He's old fashioned. He doesn't take any guff whatsoever. But, in the end, although they go about it in different ways, I get the feeling that Shaq and the sheriff will agree on one thing: JUSTICE.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/06/shaq-sherriff-wants-shaq-badge-on-his.html
