We pulled up to the McDonald’s in Morrison, IL, and this police officer pulled up next to us in the parking lot. He stepped out of his squad car and opened the back door to let out this homeless man. He walked the man inside and told him this would be a good place to stay warm for now.
He walked up to the employee at the counter and explained to her the situation. She was fine with the man staying as long as he needed to. He then handed the homeless man some money from his own pocket and told him to order whatever he’d like. The man tried to refuse but the officer said, ‘I’m not asking you to take it I’m telling you to take it.’ Nothing else was said after that. The two shook hands and the officer walked out the door. He wasn’t looking for any recognition, or any form of gratitude.
He did it purely out of the kindness of his heart. With all the post out there about how awful law enforcement is, let this be a simple reminder. Not all cops are bad. This man deserves all the praise he can get, so please share this post. Happy New Year, everyone.” (via Alex Fischbach/Facebook)
