Good cop story

[Vroom_C14]

A Nevada officer's good deed is going viral after he steps in to help a shoplifter who needed winter clothes for her children.

For Sparks Police Officer Ian Carl, November 8th was just another day on the job. He responded to a shoplifting call at Walmart in Spanish Springs, a call he says he gets on a regular basis. There, a woman had paid for her groceries, but not the new clothes she had tucked away in her diaper bags.

There are more of the good ones than bad.

Hard to determine that if you watch T.V. It is rare that these types of stories go national.

I'm sure those that have been victimized by cops will get the warm fuzzies reading that story. But just for a little balance:

When Oklahoma City Officer Daniel Holtzclaw was arrested, he was outside of his gym. Just a few years after his failed attempt to play in the NFL, the former standout linebacker at Eastern Michigan University still very much looked like a bodybuilder. Standing at 6-foot-1, weighing 260 pounds with a broad neck and biceps, he cast an intimidating presence.

Twelve different women and one underage teenager all recounted that very presence when they came forward to accuse him of various forms of rape and sexual assault.

Celebrate this guy, just like the IC/Coralville LEO who helped a family out with car seats.

When good cops do great things, especially when as in both of these cases they are humble and say "just doing the job," it should be celebrated.
