Weird Photo Op
Law-enforcement buff and possible future cop Shaquille O'Neal has been recruited by the sheriff of Bedford County, Virginia, to take part in PSAs for an effort to combat internet crimes against children. This certainly seems like a more productive use of his time than going along on drug busts or trying out chokeholds on teammates. He is keeping some strange company these days, though; he's currently in Virginia taping the television spots, visiting the U.S. Marshals office in Roanoke (he's an "Honorary Special Deputy U.S. Marshal")-and, for some reason, meeting with Jerry Falwell.
What they discussed I have no idea-maybe their mutual fondness for Hummers?
