Police Officer takes Community Service to the next level..........

[Trinity1216]

"****** was visiting Times Square with her husband Nov. 14 when they saw a shoeless man asking for change. She writes, “Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him. The officer said, ‘I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you.’ The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man. The officer expected NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching*. I have been in law enforcement for 17 years. I was never so impressed in my life. I did not get the officer’s name. It is important, I think, for all of us to remember the real reason we are in this line of work. The reminder this officer gave to our profession in his presentation of human kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared.”



Just imagine what we could accomplish if each of us did one good deed for another person each week.

We are all one race, the "Human Race"


Misc what good deeds have you done? I would love to hear about them.

Well, one time i was driving and was at a a red light, homeless guy came up to my window, asked for anything, i said sorry man i dont have anything but gum, gave him a pack of gum.. felt bad.. went to fast food, came back and bought him 3 sandwiches.

i try to do good things for people when the oppurtunity presents itself. a lot of times i will talk right past a situation, then think to myself it'll only take a few minutes, and so i turn back. people are focused on things they have to do, but if they would ease their train of thoughts and noticed their surroundings, things would be a lot different.

personally known some people who are ¨down on their luck¨ and really deserve nothing but a spit in the face and bullet in the forehead so would rarely help random people.just really respect the people who respect you

I saw an older lady in a wheelchair, probably 85+, who was forced to stand while waiting to go through security, while the TSA were sitting around with their thumbs up their asses (the usual) they were running over her chair to make sure there wasn't anything hidden before she walked through the scanner. It looked like she'd be there awhile and wasn't doing well standing so I took a chair from behind the TSA officer's podium and gave it to her to sit in until they finished. It's almost amazing how pissed off the TSA got over a moved chair, but I know she appreciated it. My late mother was in a wheelchair and it always pissed me off, what she was subjected to while going through security. There were times where it took well over half an hour to get through security.

LOL at the last sentence. GJDM every little thing does help.

I also volunteer at a Food Shelf and it just breaks my heart on the amount of people who are having a hard right now.

But the bigger service is to help those who don't respect you. It's easy to be nice to those who you like, but it's a greater service to show kindness to those who don't

An elderly friends husband has lung cancer (from aspestos not smoking) so can't put up the christmas decorations this year so i'm going over on the weekend to put them up.

Honestly I try do at least one good deed a day, even if it's something small.

[J_L_R]

Worked in nursing home for 6 years as CNA

Currently caring for a disabled relative with breast cancer that's spread all over so surgery is not an option

Buy homeless newspapers in downtown Nash

Give money to strangers that ask, hoping they buy food and not beer or cigs.

That's the type of guy/cop I am!

[unruhestifter]

I used to volunteer at a hospice near to where I live but it's some of the most heartbreaking work you can ever do. I only lasted a month

[JoshSP1985]

That guy went home threw the boots in the trash then took a shower got dressed hopped into his BMW and went and bought a $55 dollar steak.

Sometimes even the most simple things get overlooked. You don't have to donate millions of dollars or help the entire world. Helping one person is all that is required.

i like this thread (srs)

[Lb54TG]

one thing that almost breaks my heart every time is during this season when im working at best buy. i have a knack for understanding people and listening to them and understanding their situation.

parents who put their kids before them. you would think this is normal, but alot of parents really dont do that.

had a nice chat with this guy who was struggling financially, but wanted to make sure his kid was happy for christmas. he said, "you know i dont worry too much about myself, but i wanted to make sure my son is happy"

reminds me of how my mom wore the same pair of shoes for about 6 years, and took hand me downs in order to buy me nice things. [we were vietnamese immigrants, came to USA when i was 5]

and i see parents who dont do this. parents who shop for themselves, get mani's and pedi's, disregard their kid.

Too bad it only takes 1 bad police officer out of a 1000 to make the general public have a negative stereotype of them.

Modern journalism capitalizes on negativity this story will never blow up like a police officer hitting a helpless person or something.

Excellent job! It's not the size of the deed that matters but the fact that you are helping

We always run the risk of someone using money for what it is not intended. But think of it this way, some homeless people will use that money for food or coffee. I rather give than not give. GJ!!!

Thank you for your service!!!

I can understand, that has to be the hardest volunteer position in the world.

You have hundreds of other threads you can pollute with your BS, please don't do it in this one.

It's not BS there are guys all over that make their living begging some even pulling six figures. The goal is to look as destitute as possible for pitty handouts.

I've donated to homeless people before especially those claiming to be veterans (soft spot for this) but I'm always cautious. If you're fat your not getting my money (obvious reasons).

[Trinity1216]

Thank you! I thought we could use something positive in the misc every once in awhile. Let's keep it going.

And anyone feel free to rep those who's good deeds move you

I know this feel. My parents are immigrants as well. My dad worked his a*s off to make sure he provided for his children. I know my parents went without. They did not buy a house because every dime they made went into my brothers education. My dad is 78 yo and still works his a*s off every day. It's the only thing that keeps him going.

Well we ar trying to show the positive. Let's not let the one bad apple spoil it all. I have a lot of family members who are police officers and I can tell you they all have huge hearts, and have been known to bring groceries down to the homless.

[luzz223]

I work security at a hospital and obviously the elderly are always here. I always try to stop and help them in any way I can. THe small things you can do for people can put the biggest smile on their faces.. makes ya feel real good knowing you helped someone.

One quick example was I offered to wheel an elderly woman from one of the entrances to emerge, she was struggling quite bad and she was so surprised that I offered. SHe thanked me more times in 3 minutes than I could even count.

[Amillion]

That's his job(srs) to take homeless people down to shelters during the winter time. Don't want them dying on the street.

Lol poor people are forced into buying the unhealthy food, ever notice how the disgustingly fat/sugar food is the least expensive and poor minorities and demographics have highest obesity rates? (One of the only conspiracy theories I believe is how the government subsidizes and helps keep super unhealthy food cheap to kill off the poor)

I understand that, and good for you for being cautious. But not everyone is trying to scam people. There are people who LIVE on the streets. I am talking about those that beg for money with a sign on the side of off ramps.

There are legitimate homeless people out there. And homeless veterans is becoming an empidemic out there. Yes I have a soft spot as well for those who served our country. They need to receive a lot better treatment from our government than they are.

GJ!!! Srsly. I love reading stories like this.

I know there are more good people than bad, but we don't hear enough of the good!

Yes but paying for shoes and socks is NOT part of his job. He took his hard earned money and bought him shoes and socks. Don't diminish his good works. What he did was ABOVE and BEYOND his job requirements

I'll keep the scam conversation out of this thread.


On a more happy topic how many of you guys have giving homeless hitchhikers a ride? Pretty scary to be honest.

[CarlMcGuirk]

I feel like talking about good deeds you do cheapen the goodness of the deed

just do good things and be happy knowing that you may have made someone else a little more comfortable on their stay on this hellscape
