Jennifer Foster of Florence, AZ was visiting Times Square with her husband Nov. 14 when they saw a shoeless man asking for change. She writes, “Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him. The officer said, ‘I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you.’ The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put ... socks and the new boots on this man. The officer expected NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching*. I have been in law enforcement for 17 years. I was never so impressed in my life. I did not get the officer’s name. It is important, I think, for all of us to remember the real reason we are in this line of work. The reminder this officer gave to our profession in his presentation of human kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared.â€
Our thanks to this officer, who remains anonymous.

In Arizona, that cop would first check to make sure that Bum ain't some illegal alien from Planet Mexico. If everything checks out then the Bum gets shipped to New Mexico. :

No doubt he traded them for some smokes and a half bottle of rubbing alcohol. :

... or some enterprising soul took them off him while he was sleeping.
