I'm just going to drop this here without further comment, except to say that in the coming days we need to remember that there are good police officers out there...and the good ones deserve the support of society.
The Surprising Reason This 73-Year-Old Widow Is In The Back Of A Squad Car
Edit: Decided to add a little text from the story as a lead in (but there is more to it than just a ride to the grocery store)--
Last week, duty called Officer John Holder to a Desoto, Texas department store. No, it wasn't because of a crime or to manage Black Friday crowds. It was to help a 73-year-old widow shop for her Thanksgiving groceries.
The photo of the pair strolling the aisles of what appears to be a Walmart store, with Holder in uniform, pushing the cart, has brought attention to the humble officer's kindness.
"She just struck me as someone who really needed someone to care and help her out," Holder said of Dorothy Shepard. Holder first met Shepard six months ago, when he arrived at her home to do a wellness check as she recovered from knee and back surgeries.
