it's easy to be critical of things like this including myself, my first thought was cool then i thought who took the picture and was there some PR police thing going on, sometimes i hate that ido that but then i realize i've learned in my 64 years to question as long as you don't write your opinions in stone you are always open to the other side of that other side, i ended on so what if he had the pic taken and published dude got some new kicks and his feet won't freeze off.
An image of a kindly young NYPD officer giving a cold homeless man a new pair of warm boots has gone viral after it spread on Facebook and Reddit, and the twentysomething beat cop has been stunned by the reaction the internet has given the arresting image.
The NYPD officer giving new boots to an unnamed, barefoot homeless man is 25-year-old Long Islander Officer Lawrence DePrimo, who had been assigned to a counterterrorism beat the night the pic was snapped by a tourist from Arizona.
see what i did i originally opted for photo opt only to read further and find a tourist took it, then it occurred to be why would tourist be in that part of town, then i look at the pic they are in front of a shoe store and most store owner don't allow homeless people to lay in front of their place of business turns consumers off.
did they happen on him after purchase or wait until? Arizona was this a heart touching photo or go back home and laugh with friends. i don't feel these are bigoted thought and not because they are mine but based on tack records and circumstance makes you wonder as before i've written no thought in stone. this cop could very well be too young to be cynical and dismissive, bottom line i don't know. this is what the Temptations meant by their song "take a stroll through your mind. this was not a induced thing gave that up years ago, this was a sober reflection.
