Mr. White Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Was gonna post this thread. Shows to people that cops aren't bad people, they're humans just like you and I. Love when cops get involved or help the community like this RCMP officer in Alberta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not an official 'sensation' until the homeless man stands up on his new boots and dances gangnam style. Is it bad that i thought 'cop gives boots to homeless man' meant that he was kicking him in his kidneys when he was down on the street? Oh right. Not VPD cop in this case.

surtur Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 People shouldn't be so shocked by acts of kindness. They should be a regular part of our society. Sadly they're not though, which is why people are so amazed by this. If our governments took better care of the homeless, we wouldn't need officer's spending their own money to help them.

nucklehead Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Seems he's stashed his boots for safekeeping. They"re too nice to wear around the hood. http://www.nydailyne...ticle-1.1212149 The barefoot homeless man who was given a pair of shoes by a kind-hearted beat cop is wandering the streets shoeless again. Jeffrey Hillman, 54, was spotted panhandling on the upper West Side Sunday without the $100 boots NYPD Officer Lawrence DePrimo bought for him on a frigid November night in Times Square.

Special Ed Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yeah, I think so too. Why would he go back to begging? People like him make some homeless people look bad. What a stereotypical lazy ungrateful person. He even had the audacity to complain about how some pictures were taken of him "without permission". Get real.

Special Ed Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Do you think Mayor Gregor Robertson is a sucker? He promised street homelessness will end in Vancouver by 2015. I don't know how he can make such a bold prediction. Will he resign if his promise is not fulfilled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
