I read a sweet article yesterday of a teenage boy who offered to stand behind a female officer who was pumping gas in early morning rain. "To keep her safe".

That's cute. I like this story cuz it's a beautiful example of a guy just doing his job and taking that kind of abuse on the chin. Just like so many people do everyday in any kind of service industry. We've recently seen a lot of examples of cops on a hair trigger who would have either arrested or injured that lady (or both) the minute she talked back to him. It's a good example of how the attention those cases get tends to overshadow/outweigh the cases like these.

Yes this happened not too far from where I am. I live near an elementary school and the school speed zone is 20 mph then goes to 45. There's a reason why the speed limit has to be what it is because so many people just don't follow those rules. I've seen folks pass by school buses when they're stopped with stop signs out. The bus driver had to put her arm out her window waving just to get people to stop. The poor kids wanting to cross the street had to stop wait till all cars FINALLY stopped. I wonder if those people would want their children put at risk like that......I doubt it.
That officer should be commended for keeping his cool with that hideous driver. I gather she just didn't care what danger she could've put school children in.

This is why we live in Palm Beach County ,Never a dull moment.I see people blow thru school zones everyday.Assholes. That Sherriff Deputy showed a lot of restraint.
A big thank you to local police officers, who safely apprehended this young man with a knife and took him to hospital, rather than shooting him.
West Shore RCMP had to subdue a distraught man Thursday afternoon after he produced a knife and ignored commands to drop the weapon.
The incident began when View Royal Fire was called to a home on Pheasant Lane to help a man believed to be in medical need.
It was quickly determined that police would be required to deal with the man, said West Shore RCMP Const. Alex Berube. Police responded just after 4 p.m.
Officers arrived to find the man in the middle of the road. After they tried to talk to him, he took out the knife and started to walk away.
He was subdued with a Taser after turning around and coming toward police.
A 19-year-old Esquimalt man was arrested and taken to hospital.
I know our police are far from perfect (cough Dziekanski), but if you are distraught and have a weapon at least the odds are good that they will do whatever can be done so that nobody ends up dead.

This made me smile. Cop is driving by and hears dogs barking. Finds three pitt bulls huddled in a sewer drain. Fire dept comes and gets them out with Animal Control. From the video you can see they are not vicious dogs. Sad part is that since Animal Control is the one taking them in the dogs will probably end up being euthanized. But at least the cop noticed them and did the right thing. http://news.blog.wftv.com/2015/10/27/cocoa-officer-finds-3-pit-bulls-huddled-in-sewer-drain/
Never tried to share a Instagram post before let's hope it goes through. If not I'll get an article link tomorrow after the story is reported.
Here's the text from the photo above for those that can't see it on instagram puppykittynyctyTomorrow in the news you will see an incredible #rescue story, and I'm so, so proud that our @nypd Animal Liason friend was the hero!!! A woman died today, she was a #dog rescuer. She had 9 living in her hoarded van, in tiny carriers. Where she also lived. Another dog was found alone in an apartment, being fed 3x/week. One dog was found deceased. Neighbors tried to help her and the dogs for a while but no one ever called the cops. Heartbreaking. Some of the dogs can't even stand. They are all safe and sound with full bellies tonight. Sergeant Cathy is over the moon and worked until 10p tonight to help these sweet little souls.
@nypd, you are indeed New York City's finest. God Bless
My cousin pulls people over during the holidays and gives families gift cards. Nice little gesture!
Seems dangerous to me. Is the person being pulled over for no reason, or pulled over for a reason then decides to give out the card? I see so many stories about accidents occurring when police officers have people pulled over. Seems like a liability issue if something bad happens. Maybe he's choosing who does and doesn't get rewarded for breaking the law? Maybe your cousin gives out the ticket and the gift card?
Police officers from the Brooklyn North Division traded in their uniforms for comic book costumes and swung by Interfaith Medical Center’s Bishop Orris G. Walker, Jr. Health Care Center. Batman, Spider-Man, and other characters delivered gifts to children with sickle-cell anemia.
The officers said they were thrilled to brighten holiday spirits around the hospital.
"We're in a holiday season and this is really about giving," said Brooklyn North Patrol's Commanding Officer Jeffrey Maddrey. "Here at Brooklyn North we wanted to come out spread some cheer, spread some love, give gifts to children."
"I got two motorcycles," said one child. "I have 30 presents at my aunt's house and 40 presents at my dad's house, so I'm happy."
The kids also got to pose for a picture with Santa and the superheroes outside the hospital.

According to the NYPD's Facebook page, the cat, whose identity remains unknown, accidentally wandered onto the highway in Queens on Friday. The highway cop spotted him as he darted underneath a stopped silver SUV—the cop asked the driver to move forward, then he scooped the scared cat up and carried him to safety on the grass. "Cat and cop are now new friends and doing well,” the NYPD says. Video is only on FB so sorry Anti-FBers who can't see it. I don't know that I would call that cat a kitten. Still, makes my heart swell like the Grinch's!

Saw something from Florida I think. Police were called because kids playing were "too loud" playing basketball with one of those portable hoops. Once on scene , he joined them.

Kudos to the cop for keeping his cool.
She sure didn't deserve him being so calm and polite.

Santa got help from a few superheroes to deliver presents to boys and girls at one Brooklyn hospital.
