| NYPD cop buys boots for homeless man NYPD officer's act of kindness goes viral on Facebook Jennifer Foster, a Florence, Ariz., tourist, posted a photograph of the officer giving a homeless man a pair of boots and socks on a frigid night in Times Square on Nov. 17. "'I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let's put them on and take care of you,"' Foster quoted DePrimo as saying to the homeless man. "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."

| Saw that on the news a few minutes ago. Cop said he was going to carry the receipt as a reminder that there are those less fortunate. |

 Good thoughts and prayers to you and yours TPDAnd I am ashamed to admit that when I first saw this on FB, my first reaction was to look it up on snopes. I have turned into such a cynic.

| I read about this on another site, and now I can't remember which one. There were so many comments, some very nasty, about how it's the guy is a scammer, etc. I think it was a very nice thing to do, and it was nice that he noticed. |
