Chicago police officers surprise children with new basketball hoop after seeing them play with milk crate

Chicago police officers on Monday surprised a group of children with a new basketball hoop – after seeing them playing instead with a milk crate – and even stuck around to shoot hoops in the neighborhood.

Brown shared video showing two uniformed officers carrying a box with the new hoop inside. Another officer goes to the door and a woman walks a boy onto the deck covering his eyes with her hands.  The boy, then seeing officers carrying the gift outside on the lawn, yelled in delight, "Thank you!"
