Cop Gives Boots to Homeless Man
CNN.Com

New York police Officer Larry DePrimo's gift of boots to a barefoot homeless man on a cold November night warmed the hearts of America when a candid photo of the act spread on the Internet.

DePrimo says it was an easy decision ? the man's feet had blisters the size of his palm ? and the kind of thing that fellow officers often do without fanfare.

"It was extremely cold out, and ... you could see the blisters from like 10, 15 feet away," DePrimo told CNN on Friday morning. "He was a gentleman when I had spoken to him, and I knew I had to help him."

DePrimo, 25, was the unwitting star of a photo that a tourist captured near Times Square on November 14, showing him kneeling by the man and presenting him boots and socks that he had just bought for him.

The tourist, Jennifer Foster of Florence, Arizona, sent the photo to the New York Police Department, which posted it to its Facebook page on Tuesday. The photo went viral, with more than 185,000 shares, 513,000 likes and 39,000 comments by Friday morning.

DePrimo, a two-year NYPD veteran, told CNN in interviews Thursday and Friday that he was on patrol when he encountered the man.

"My heart went out to this man," he said. "I just went toward him and asked him if he wanted a pair of socks. But he said, 'No, and God bless you for asking.'"

Good for him. If police added more random acts of kindness to their jobs they would not be so hated. It shouldn't only be about trying to catch people who break the law and cracking skulls.

I read about this a few days ago on http://www.photographyisnotacrime.com/ Great resource BTW if you're into photography.

Great to see a positive story out

Some of my best friends are cops and there isn't a month that goes by that they aren't involved in some kind of charity and community event.

Many cops give back and are very good people. You just don't hear about them.

awesome.

John-ACWM · 12-02-2012, 11:38 AM

A good cop. Beautiful. I am sure there are others.

bronco67 · 12-02-2012, 11:45 AM

We only hear about the bad cops -- but there would probably be more guys like this in the profession if the psychological evaluation was tighter. Too many sociopaths become cops, and there has to be a way to make sure there's more guys like this doing the job.

He's a fake nick troll that posts like that to get responses from people that still haven't figured out he is a troll.

He makes Markham look like an amateur.

Aside from being GFY's resident nutjob - he graduated with top honors from Trolling 101.

Clearly this guy gets paid too much money if he can afford boots and socks for a random homeless guy.

That homeless guy needs to pull himself up by his new bootstraps and stop relying on charity.

Taxpayers really paid for those boots and socks.

/sarcasm

Sorry just repeating what would be said in political threads.

It's great to hear about things like that. Usually only bad stories get attention and all of the positive stuff is ignored.
