Unlike the diss-capade that proceeded Rick Ross' former officer years, basketball star Shaquille O'Neal has no problem slapping on a badge.

The Cleveland Cavaliers player has applied to become a special deputy for Cuyahoga County. With the role, Shaq will have the right to carry a gun and arrest people. This isn't the first time seven-footer has worked in law enforcement. O'Neal has also served in Arizona, Virginia and Florida.

O'Neal is currently awaiting to receive word from the Cuyahoga County sheriff-- who forwarded his application to the state agency--to find out his employment status. -- Linda Hobbs
