Shaq assists police in arrest of man accused of assaulting gay couple September 13, 2005 MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Shaquille O'Neal provided an assist to police over the weekend, trailing a man who allegedly assaulted a gay couple before alerting an arresting officer.
The 7-foot-1 Miami Heat center, who is in the process of becoming a Miami Beach reserve officer, was driving on South Beach around 3 a.m. Sunday. He saw a passenger in a car yell anti-gay slurs at the couple, who were walking, said Bobby Hernandez, a spokesman for the Miami Beach Police Department.
The man then got out of the car and threw a bottle, hitting one of the pedestrians, who was not seriously hurt. The man got back in the car, which sped off. O'Neal followed, flagging down an officer who made an arrest, Hernandez said. Michael Gonzalez, 18, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and assault with a deadly weapon. The driver of the car was not charged.
O'Neal, who hopes to be a police chief or county sheriff one day, was already being fitted for his Miami Beach police uniform before he helped the police out.
``For this incident I don't want to be credited as an individual who does police work,'' O'Neal said in a statement. ``I want to be credited as a Miami Beach police officer.''

Shaq Decks Miami Drunk September 5, 2005 -- BULLET-ridden rap mogul Suge Knight wasn't the only victim of violence at the VMA parties. A drunken reveler at the Ocean Drive magazine bash at the Loews Hotel was knocked out cold by massive Miami Heat superstar Shaquille O'Neal after the tipsy fellow bumped into Shaq's wife, Shaunie. "I just happened to be looking in that direction because I saw this other basketball player - Richard Hamilton from the Detroit Pistons - shaking hands and saying hello to Shaq," partygoer Jean-Paul Bermudez told the Miami New Times. "A couple seconds later it just looked like Shaq completely snapped. He turned around and punched this other guy right in the face. He totally laid him out with one punch and then he did kind of a running punch when the guy was already on the ground. After that the entire VIP area just collapsed on the guy." The TKO by Shaq - who moonlights as an auxillary policeman - left a bloody mess on the floor, and the ruckus caused the house lights to come on and cops to break up the party.

Fact is Shaq is a cocky punk who DESERVES to get knocked out. agreed, shaq is such an idiot, notice this story gets more attention then the story about him knocking the guy out. Plus I think he's so overrated, I mean, he's never shot a real jump shot in his life, just layups, dunks, and baby hooks and gets away with so much crap inside, but thats another story.

He's a center, thats what they do. You want him to step out and hit some three's? Maybe get it 15 ft away, square up, and take the jumper? Thats what the big fella does, he dominates in the paint.
