These images will serve as yet another evidence of Shaq’s size. We can see some wholesome comments on the tweet by the fans. He understands and respects all police officers since he realizes how difficult their work is and the sacrifices they must make.
As a thank you for their service, the Lakers legend provided the officers with complimentary tickets to his charity concert “The Event.” The concert will be take place on October 1 and will feature big names like Maroon 5, John Mulaney, Pitbull, Maren Morris, and H.E.R. Shaq has always got some surprises for his fans. In the wake of the protests against police brutality, Shaq once addressed the things he had taught his sons to do in case of a law enforcement stop.
As it turns out, Shaq had told them to be respectful to the officers because they’re doing their job as well. He had also advised them to try to diffuse the situation in case of an escalation. However, he also expressed his concern that sometimes even these measures are not enough.
