If you get pulled over for a DUI in the Phoenix area, you won't have the possible honor of having your friendly Maricopa County Sheriff's deputy assisted by posse-member O'Neal.

Whatever the naughty word was that Sheriff Joe took offense to, I would hazzard a guess that Shaq is on record saying it more than once in the past, and more than once before he was initailly admitted to the posse and the made a colonel.

That opens the question of what kind of background checks really go into our citizen posse here in Maricopa County. This Shaq things is silly, but the questions it raises are serious.

Shaq gets slapped by sheriff for rap about Bryant - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

PHOENIX (AP)—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 January and promoted him to colonel of his largely ceremonial posse earlier this month.

“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.”
