Cop responds to pickup basketball noise complaint by dunking on the kids

A Florida resident called police to file a complaint about the neighborhood kids who were playing basketball too loudly, which is a strange reason to call police in broad daylight. Officer Bobby White responded to the call and thought the situation was fine, because he ended up playing ball with them.

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.

At one point, they even lowered the rim so he could dunk:

Now I kinda want a sequel to Air Bud, where Air Bud’s a retired basketball player, but he’s also now a police dog, and this moment is where Air Bud the Police Dog gets inspired to quit the force, and back to playing basketball one last time.
