So because I'm not falling for this PR stunt and want cops to actually enforce the laws upon themselves I'm full of hate?
I guess I am.......
While many on here, ATS exclusive, will concentrate on only when Law Enforcement messes up, Law enforcement continues to go about their everyday duties.
I can not tell you how many thousands of times each week an officer does something this simple, this noble and then just goes back to his job...
A Winnipeg Transit bus driver is being hailed a Good Samaritan after stunned passengers watched him give the shoes off his feet to a man who was walking barefoot on the sidewalk.
The Route 24 bus had entered downtown from the Unicity area on Tuesday morning when the male driver pulled over near Portage Avenue and Main Street, says passenger Denise Campbell.
"Suddenly the bus driver yelled, 'Hey buddy!' and he got off the bus and went up to a man that was basically dressed in fairly warm-looking clothes … he looked like he was in need," Campbell told CBC News.
"I didn't realize why he was talking to him until all of a sudden, the bus driver took his shoes off," she recalled.
"I looked down and realized the man had no shoes on, and it was really cold this morning."
The temperature in downtown Winnipeg was between 5 and 7 C on Tuesday morning, according to Environment Canada.
Campbell said she and other passengers on the bus were left speechless by the driver's act of kindness.
When another passenger asked the driver why he did what he did, he replied, "I couldn't stand seeing someone walking barefoot in this temperature like this," according to Campbell.
"You always hear, 'I'll give you the shirt off my back.' This man took his shoes off, gave them to a man that needed them, got back on the bus and continued to drive the bus," she said.
"It's unbelievable. It's amazing."

There's a homeless man that lives near me. I buy him food all the time and give him money. Why is it not news worthy when I do it but if a cop does it he's a hero?
Not saying cops shouldn't be doing nice things.
I'm saying it's pretty damn bad out there if we have to point it out to counter all the bad they do.......
