I think there’s a lot of yearning for the old days, when most people still thought of cops as the good guys. At least this week, they are!

During Friday’s intense manhunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Watertown, Mass., when the city of Boston was on lockdown, a Brookline police officer delivered milk to a family with a baby.
And like many random acts of kindness seen in the wake the marathon bombings, the photo—posted to Facebook by the family—went viral, thanks in part to a tweet from the Boston Police Department:
BPD Officer delivers milk to a family with young children in Watertown during the lockdown.
Kevin Wells, the father, took the photo of the officer, John Bradley, as he arrived carrying two gallons of milk for Holden, Wells’ 17-month-old son.
During the lockdown, the boy’s grandmother, who was visiting from Colorado, left the house to ask the officer if he could grab some milk for the young couple.
“It just meant the world that he literally went out and got two gallons of milk,” McKenzie Wells, the boy’s mother, told Today.com. “We wanted to pay him, but he wouldn’t take money from us. He was just so generous.”
Sweet!
I live in Montgomery, Alabama and have lived here for more than 30 years. I was born and raised in southern, CA. The cops here are the good guys. This is my testimony.
Disclaimer: I worked at the SPLC CRMC for a time. They are full of shit.
The Hollow Men. seems to sum it up nicely.
Except when it doesn’t.
Thanks for posting this. Sometimes I need to be reminded that radical conservatives aren’t the majority and way more people want to help than to harm.
Yes, radical conservatives. Let’s go with that.
Or, an act of humanity by a person.
