If the magic jacket fits, Shaq will have his wish of becoming a reserve deputy yet again.

Steven Seagal Lawman is slated to begin on A&E on December 2, 2009. But that hasn’t stopped Shaquille O’Neal from his hot pursuit of criminal behavior.

Los Angeles Times Sports: October 29, 2009

The world’s tallest purveyor of law enforcement has submitted an application to become a special sheriff’s deputy in Ohio.

Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office spokesman John O’Brien confirmed to the Associated Press that Shaq has submitted a formal request to become a special deputy.

That’s right, Shaq could be carrying a gun in Cleveland, OH, with the ability to arrest. Drawback: he doesn’t get paid.

What is up with Shaq and law enforcement? With Seagal, we can see the transition from martial artist to law enforcement, especially after his giving seminars on police tactics to various law agencies. And, quite frankly, his recent downsizing on the action movie front.

Shaq is still getting paid plenty by the Cleveland Cavaliers, around $20 million per year, but apparently being LeBron James’ bodyguard just isn’t enough for him.

This isn’t surprising, as Shaquille O’Neal has made the foray into the law industry previously completely the police law academy in Los Angeles, becoming the newsest reserve officer for the L.A. Port Police.

Traded to Miami, he became a Miami Beach reserve officer.

I just hope that Stevel Seagal doesn’t make as many mistakes as Shaq while on duty, like raiding the wrong house in an attempt to serve an internet child porn warrant after receiving the incorrect address associated with an IP address.

Awaiting the arrival of Seagal on the streets of New Orleans, Tulku Prince in Vodun town.
