NYC Cop does a good deed.

It was a very nice thing for him to do. There are not many people out there that would do the same. I do try to help others when I can.

I read this news and I am moved to it. This policeman is so kind to buy a pair of shoes for a homeless man. I am glad that someone took photos for it so that his behavior is known. He may not care about it but it means a lot for us. I hope there are more kind people like him in the world.

I loved this. I also loved the man who refused to be entrapped by the press when asked about his friend, a supposed Lottery winner. He didn't grab any of the attention for himself.

I did see a photograph of this cop and it really made me feel good that he did this. It was a kind compassionate action and I am glad that it was recognised publicly. We should hear about more stories like this instead of just gloom and doom. Like you, I wish that we would live better with each other and make our world safer and happier .for each other

I saw it in the news last night. What a generous act that policeman to that homeless man. Great example that we could help other people in need even in simple way that we can. He could be an example that people should help others without thinking of anything in return or with telling it to the whole wide world that they help. Helping other people in simple ways is a great start to make this world a better place to live in.

Yes I have seen that on the news and on the internet too. The officer has had alot of good instilled in him, it was also brought up that some people have this genuine generosity in them and others do not. I would hope that it could be learned though, either way and more people who can give do this. It is a good thing to help someone homeless with no shoes, he probably needed more than that but it is a good start. I hope the homeless man gets his life back on track one day. In this day and age no one should be homeless on the streets anymore. I realize there has to be alot of compassion for people when someone does such a good deed, perhaps the cop couldn't sleep at night knowing he has seen a man without shoes in the cold. I couldn't blame him. I wish more of us could be that way.

I saw that on the news the other night and it was touching. It is refreshing to see some good being done instead of all the bad that is on the news all the time.

I agree with you that if there were more people that were to perform these kinds of random acts of kindness, the world that we live in would be a much more beautiful place to live. I haven't been able to perform a random act of kindness in person this year, but I have been donating a lot of things that we no longer need at our home so that people that are not as lucky as we are will be able to have a magical Christmas season.

It does seem like the Christmas Season tends to bring the best out in most people. I know that I feel more giving during this season than I do at other times of the year. I do think that part of it could be the weather change on top of the giving season.

This is one of the nicest things I have heard in a while. That is so nice. I wish there were more people in the world that do this also. The world would be much nicer if people would pay it forward when someone helps them... =)

It is heart warming and touching. US policemen always have been good reputations here in our country. Doing such thing is a good example for the authorities all over the world. Thanks for this discussion. God Bless
