Received from Officer Robert Grunza after he was showed up doing a little community policing. While on routine patrol, I was subsequently stopped and briefly detained by these 4 young men who requested a game of hoops. Little did I know that I was playing basketball with future NBA stars. Upon investigation, it was found that my basketball skills are not up to date. After receiving a whooping, I learned one has dreams of becoming a Pennsylvania State Trooper. Follow your dreams my friend, I look forward to seeing you out here. #OFPDStrong
