Photo of police officer giving boots to barefoot man warms hearts online

This article shows a picture of a police officer giving a homeless man a pair of brand new boots. The police officer spent about $75 on a pair of shoes for this homeless man. I think this article is newsworthy because this happened in New York City, and in New York there are homeless people everywhere. Usually people just walk past those in need and don’t stop to help. People care about seeing random acts of kindness in the news. It isn’t possible for this policeman to help every homeless person, but to this one man that he helped it mattered.

    I read a story that reported the homeless man couldn’t bring himself to wear such expensive shoes. This falls under that category of “Bright”: Happy news that reminds us that some people are still human.
