Shaquille O’Neal may have let off a little steam with his anti-Kobe Bryant rap last weekend, but the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department is still boiling mad - so much so that the Arizona county has taken away the Big Cactus’ police badges.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS reports that Maricopa sheriff Joe Arpaio was upset with Shaq’s “use of a racially derogatory word and other foul language” in his nightclub performance on Sunday. As a result, O’Neal will lose the badges he received as a special member of the county’s police force:

Arpaio made Shaq a special deputy in January and promoted him to colonel of his largely ceremonial posse earlier this month.

“I want his two badges back,” Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don’t condone this type of racial conduct.”

Shaq said that his rap was “done in fun” and that it was “nothing serious.” However, Arpaio is not the type of law officer to joke around:

Arpaio, who describes himself as “America’s Toughest Sheriff” and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, said he didn’t expect his actions would teach Shaq a lesson. But he hoped he learns that as a role model who wants to someday be a full-time sheriff, he needs to know his words matter.

Because no policeman has ever said anything offensive or acted in any way derogatory.

Well, Shaq, there’s still the Arizona Highway Patrol. Or the Arizona National Guard (if you don’t mind being shipped out to Iraq in the next few weeks.)
