Shaquille O’Neal has long been infatuated with law enforcement, and he says he’ll dive deeper into the field.
Shaq, via Julie Wolfe of WXIA Atlanta:“In 2020, I plan on running for Sheriff.”
SHAQ FOR SHERIFF?! Yep, he’s serious.
He could run for Sheriff in Henry County, where he is a resident. The incumbent there is up for reelection in 2020. He could run in Florida where he also has residency. He also could move somewhere between now and 2020, and establish new residency.
“I haven’t made my mind up yet,” he said.
There are many reasons this is a terrible idea. Policing is serious business with lives on the line. Shaq doesn’t have the experience or temperament to do the job well.
I hope this, as with many things he says publicly, is a joke – because, if he runs, he might win.
