Sometimes you have to be kind

I work some pretty rough areas and deal with the not so nice people everyday, but sometimes there is something that makes you take a second and do something good for someone.

I got a call for a homeless female sleeping on the sidewalk in front of a business, I had previously issued her a criminal trespass warning and was going to arrest her.

But yesterday the heat index was 109, today it was 75 and raining this woman is 8 months pregnant, so instead of jail I bought a couple of bottles of Gatorade and made some phone calls to different shelters and groups.

For some reason I just didn't want to be the ******* cop that took a pregnant woman to jail just because she had nowhere to go.

I found a church run shelter that would take her and help her through the rest of her pregnancy, which I think is in the best interest of her and her unborn child not sitting in jail.

Some days you do things that you can live with and I will sleep well tonight.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
