Video: Shaq Endorses Sheriff Israel’s Re-Election
BY BUDDY NEVINS
Sheriff Scott Israel’s re-election got a big endorsement on Friday — 7 feet 1 inches.
NBA legend Shaquille O’ Neal has endorsed Israel because he “brought crime rates down.”
“I care about safe streets,” O’Neal said.
Israel, a Democrat, is running for re-election to a second term in 2016.
O’Neal called a few days ago and asked Israel what he could do to help. The results is the video below.
Although O’Neal doesn’t live in Broward County, he has family in South Florida and is frequently in the area, according to an Israel campaign source. The sheriff and O’Neal bonded over a love of sports.
O’Neal made warm remarks about Israel a year ago during a broadcast of basketball, as pointed out to me by @redbroward. That is here.
Here is the endorsement video:

Alls I gotta say is at least Shaq O’Neal was alive when he made his endorsement unlike dat jerk Granteed who lied about Joe DiMaggio endorsing him. I mean like what kinda horse’s ass would do a ting like dat? Claim to have a dead guyz endorsement? If dat don’t take the asshat prize Idonno know wat does.

This endorsement is a joke. Is that the best endorsement a sitting sheriff can get is someone that doesn’t even vote or live in the county. Said had nobody endorsing him with any credibility. He is a joke, this endorsement is a joke and him getting re elected is a joke.
