It’s not easy to be a cop. You’re life is in a constant danger, and you have to deal with all kinds of people. Sure, sometimes it seems like cops do nothing but helping an old lady cross the street. But that’s not always the case. It’s their responsibility to make sure people are protected.
Are they always doing their job as they supposed to? Well, maybe not. But just like us, they’re people as well. Which means they’re not perfect, and on top of that they have to deal with a lot of stress.
Cops these days in the States tend not to make the news for good reasons. But the story you’re about to see will surely put a smile on your face.
Do you remember the cop that talked with the 13-year-old kid that wanted to run away from home?
“I thought the little things that he needed I could give him, to make him a happier kid. I didn’t do this for publicity or to get people to notice me. I did it because I could. It was the right thing to do and I think people should do things like this.” – Source.
This is just one example that shows that many cops are going beyond the call of duty to protect and serve. The next story you’re about to see is even more inspiring.
One family decided to celebrate the 4th of July with a large slip’n slide party. However, their neighbor wasn’t happy with all the noise going on and he decided to call the cops.
He was probably not in the mood for some fun, and told police how the slip’n slide was blocking traffic. But when the cops arrived, they didn’t see anything wrong with the situation.
The slip’n slide party was far from over, since the cops joined too!
“When the female officer asked for a garbage bag, we almost didn’t believe it. But she took off her radio and went for it,” resident Katlen Joyce Smith told ABC News.
“They had such good energy. All the kids were loving it.”
“I thought I was going to be able to get out of it, because I’m too big to fit in a trash bag,” he said. “But then when the kids pulled out this big raft … I had no choice,” said one of the cops.
The story of the fun-loving cops quickly went viral on the internet. This is probably a call they will remember till the rest of their lives!
