David Spade is one Hollywood star who still remembers that the holidays are really all about the spirit of giving. And with that spirit in mind, after hearing that some local cops had to pay for their guns out of their own pockets, the Rules of Engagement star opened up his wallet and donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department to go toward the purchase of about 50 AR-15 rifles.

“These guys need to be able to do their jobs, and I am just happy I could help,” David, who grew up in Scottsdale and graduated from Arizona State University, said in a statment Monday.

A police spokesman said the department was very grateful for the helping hand.
