Officer buys barefoot homeless man shoes

Previous Slide officer and homeless man in New York Next Slide

Jennifer Foster snapped this photo in Times Square on Nov. 14, 2012 when she saw this cop buy this homeless man a pair of shoes. Here's her account of what happened:

“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.”

It is nearly impossible to choose a favorite.

The brave boy holding "God Hates No One" or Shoep th dog and his pet parents (who is returing the favor in the dogs old age, or the people offering letters to a Down's man or ......free electricity, free medical care, the blind child who got to be a police officer....all GREAT!

I was going to say which numbers are my favorite but after reading all of these, I truly can't decide. These stories are so wonderful. "restoring our faith in humanity" is the perfect title. number 11 almost made me cry because it's so sweet, and #12 is couragous; i'm astounded that kids will stand up for things they believe in despite what adults are saying: GOOD JOB! #8 hit home for me. I'm so glad people are still fulfilling their duties as human beings. I don't believe in god but I feel like I see hell all over the place these days, it's comforting to know people are still attempting peace. I love it! kudos MSN. wish you'd put this in trending so more people could share their views about it. And to everyone in this slideshow(though you most likely won't see this) Thank you! just getting autographs from kids or sending mail to someone to bring joy to them, makes this planet a better place.
