VIDEO: Police officer deals with a petty basketball complaint the best way possible

Colm Boohig

This is the way to deal with silly complaints.

American police offers have, let’s be fair, not got the best reputation over the last few years in dealing with the public. However, it should also be publicised when they do the right thing.

Officer White of the Gainesville Police Department responded to a complaint made against a few kids supposedly playing basketball too loudly.

When Officer White arrived at the scene, he realised that no crimes were being committed and responded the best way possible.

This has made a big splash since the Gainesville Police Department uploaded the video to their Facebook account, and it’s no surprise why.

Take a look.

Officer White was recently dispatched to a call of kids playing basketball “loudly” in the streets. In the evening. Having fun. Not committing crimes. Let’s see how he handled it.
