From one of my favourite cities in the World. Every day, we all read about terrible events. I read this first thing this morning and felt uplifted. I decided perhaps other would be uplifted also so I posted it.

This made me feel good...maybe it will make you feel the same
What a beautiful thing to read about - random acts of kindness. I'm sure it happens more than we hear about. But he certainly is a wonderfully sweet and generous man.
Now I'm all choked up.
A nice change from the normal news story.
Thanks Tony.

Heart-warming story, really gives me new-found respect for all police officers...
Call me an old cynic, but while the NYPD facebook page boasts 'serendipitous' posts of 'random' acts of kindness, in the interest of balance lets ponder the reality of police-state America:

Maybe I'm jaded, and if people want to feel warm and fuzzy because someone did some thing altruistic then fine, nothing wrong with that.dtaylor wrote:You know, it's very possible that you and I are in political agreement on things, but why do we need to balance anything in this thread?

Either way you wont to look at it the poor man needed boots 8 million other people could have done the same thing but didn't.
It made me think how I could be more kind to people who are less fortunate than me. Maybe I am stupid but at least this cop did that
anyway at least the guys got warm feet that's got to be a good thing doesn't it ?
