David Spade should be awarded a medal. He just donated $25,000 to the family of a slain Phoenix police officer.
The 43-year-old comedian said that after reading about Officer Nick Erfle’s death last month, he was “hit out of the blue” by the shooting and the fact that Erfle had overcome cancer to return to duty.
“I’m from Arizona so I’m always a little aware of things that are going on there,” Spade, a Scottsdale native, told The Associated Press on Monday. “It just struck me as such a rough situation just because cops in general get kind of a bad rap lately and people forget it is the scariest job out there.”
Spade has already arranged for a money transfer into the family’s bank account. Spade said he hopes Erfle’s wife was able to use the money for the funeral or other expenses. “I just thought I would throw something in the pile,” he said.
