Shaq puts badge to good use

Miami Beach reserve cop Shaquille O’Neal put his police skills to use last weekend when he used his pimped-out Cadillac Escalde to chase down a hit and run driver. O’Neal tracked the driver for over five minutes and used a cell phone to stay in contact with police until they could arrive on the scene.

I don’t understand why Shaq put the public in danger with this chase when he could have simply ended the episode by saying Kazaam! and making the dude’s car disappear. But maybe I’m being harsh. After all, it’s quite refreshing to see an NBA player helping out the cops instead of being cuffed by them.
