Florida police officer gets dispatched to a call of kids playing basketball ‘loudly’ in the streets. When he reached the spot, he found some teens innocently playing ball in the street at 5pm. So instead of reprimanding the kids, he joined them. Other kids soon join in and the cop begins dribbling ball with all of them – even dunking a shot.

The department has issued a statement saying that they will continue to focus on people who commit crimes and ‘let kids be kids’
