If only all humans were as good as that cop.

Homeless Man Shod By Police

The cop is a great person for sure, but did anyone else notice that the beggar was sitting shoe-less in front of a shoe store w/ a bag at his side?

I wonder how many pairs of shoes he has scored this way?

When I see a homeless person claiming they are hungry I usually offer to buy them some food. Mostly I get told to fark off. Only ONCE has the person accepted that offer. (so I bought him a nice lunch at the food court)

On a cold November night in Times Square, Officer Lawrence DePrimo was working a counterterrorism post...Officer DePrimo went into a Skechers shoe store at about 9:30 p.m.... "as soon as the boots were on him, he went on his way, and I just went back to my post."

Alternative headline: Cop Abandons Post to Conduct Personal Business Leaving Thousands at Risk of Terrorist Attack!

Expect a news article tomorrow stating that the officer has been placed on paid administrative leave for violating pan handler laws.

Not to downplay how nice this is, but the homeless guy may have been shoeless to get more donations/money. I often see homeless here without shoes/wearing garbage bags etc, it's why a lot of crusties keep a dog, they often get more by looking worse. I certainly hope he wears the shoes though, you can tell from the photo that his feet are pretty jacked.

....which he promptly traded for half a bottle of Night Train and a dry bag of rolling tobacco.

He's only been a cop for 3 years. In the next five, either he'll devolve into Neanderthal Cop mode, or he'll be off the force (or have a desk job) because the other cops don't appreciate good ones.

Hopefully, he'll end up on some local force where this sort of thing isn't frowned upon.
