NYPD Officer Gives Boots to Homeless Man

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

It's a feel-good holiday story. Try not to politicize it.

Yep; insprational for sure. It'd be nice if everyone acted like this cop did.

I saw that on an LEO Facebook page. It's a wonderful act of kindness.
Cops tend to get generalized because of the bad minority; I know several big-hearted cops who would likely do the same, or something similar.

I've been busy. We had an election and I worked hard. My car now has more miles and I ran into some really nice folks in Henderson County. It's been good but I missed reading the banter. Hope all my old comrades are well.

This went around the world, and I want a piece of the pie."


A new pair of boots given to him by someone who has a heart....he chooses to be homeless.....but he wants a piece of the pie.

What's wrong with this picture?

He is probably just hungry. I would also want a piece of pie if I were homeless. You can't eat boots.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.
