Gainesville cop's response to teens playing basketball goes viral - CBS News

I could not have said this any better:

"The takeaway here is -- these kids were out, not inside playing video games, getting exercise and having fun," Gainseville Police Department spokesman Ben Tobias told CBS News. "As a society, we've gotten away from letting kids be kids."

That LEO performed a great PR stunt that cost the taxpayers nothing (to speak of), sent a very positive message to the neighborhood and the kids playing basketball, and probably made him feel wonderful.

I salute him and the OP's right. It probably never made it on the news... until they couldn't ignore it.
