Syracuse Police Department makes 'Hulk' actor honorary officer
Chief Joe Cecile and actor Lou Ferrigno joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the move and the importance of supporting law enforcement.
"Hulk" actor Lou Ferrigno shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what it is like to be on a police "ride along," after being named an honorary officer with the Syracuse (New York) Police Department.
The former bodybuilder is best known for his role as the ‘Hulk’ on the sci-fi TV series "The Incredible Hulk."
During an appearance on "Fox & Friends" on Monday, Ferrigno discussed the importance of supporting officers as crime surges.
He said, "It's all about respecting that leadership, because most kids today, there's no God, there's no respect. They have no respect for themselves. That's why I'm fortunate."
