Good on the cop. We need more LEOs like him. It would help to rid the world of miserable, bitter complainers.

Some of are realists, who have the courage to face the truth and deal with it, while others cowardly ignore the truth and try to live in a pretend make-believe world and critisize those who speak the truth and make their voices angry.

Jeffrey Hillman, New York City Homeless Man, Barefoot Again After Officer Larry DePrimo Bought Him Boots
NEW YORK -- The New York City homeless man – whose gift of boots from an NYPD police officer became an online sensation – is back on the streets with no shoes.
The New York Times ( Homeless Man Says Heā€™s Grateful for Boots but Heā€™s Barefoot Again - NYTimes.com ) found him Sunday night wandering barefoot in Manhattan. The paper identified him as Jeffrey Hillman, formerly of South Plainfield, N.J.
Asked about the $100 all-weather boots Officer Larry DePrimo gave him on Nov. 14, Hillman says he's hidden them because "they are worth a lot of money."
An Arizona tourist snapped the photo of the officer presenting new boots to Hillman. It went viral after it was posted on the NYPD's Facebook page.
He says he's grateful for the gift, but he wants "a piece of the pie" because the photo was posted online "without permission."
