Officer Jeff Purkett had just finished responding to a call when he noticed a kid standing on the side of the street. The respected policeman stepped out of his vehicle and shouted at the boy to stop what he was doing and to "go long!"
When the boy's father saw what was happening, he just knew that he had to grab his camera and record every second. He knew that with the political climate how it is these days, with people killing police officers just to push a political agenda, it would be important for everyone to see what was happening. So he posted it on YouTube.
The boy was sprinting away when the cop raised his arm into the sky. Then everyone realized just how good of a throwing arm Officer Purkett had; With football season just starting, this guy could have easily matched up with any of the star quarterbacks out there!
It turns out that Purkett knew the little neighborhood boy named Alex, and he figured that it was as good a time as any to blow off some steam by passing the ball for a bit. When Alex's father saw what the cop was doing with his son, he realized he just had to share what was happening with the whole world!
