David Spade $100,000 Donation to Phoenix Police Department

This is very cool.

David Spade is one Hollywood star who still remembers that the holidays are really all about the spirit of giving. And with that spirit in mind, after hearing that some local cops had to pay for their guns out of their own pockets, the Rules of Engagement star opened up his wallet and donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department to go toward the purchase of about 50 AR-15 rifles.

“These guys need to be able to do their jobs, and I am just happy I could help,” David, who grew up in Scottsdale and graduated from Arizona State University, said in a statment Monday.

A police spokesman said the department was very grateful for the helping hand.

This is stupid. The cops choose to buy weapons that they don’t really need. The argument they make is to shoot suspects at long range. Suspects at long range don’t pose immediate threat to the police. If they do, cities like Phoenix have sharpshooters.

I need a computer and mobile phone to do my job. If I want an iPhone too, so I can get directions when I travel I pay for it myself because it isn’t a business necessity.

“Charity” Hollywood providing weapons for the poor policemen who are deprived. Give me a freaking break.

I think that it is awesome what he did. I completely disagree with Peter and i’m sure the citizens of Phoenix would as well.
