An unparalleled act of kindness

A report was published in a local English daily on 16th December portraying a US cop with a heart of gold! The white cop's generosity to a poor black lady was unparalleled. It showed the other side of the coin, in contrast to the oft-repeated news of US white policemen shooting and killing black youngsters.

The news is about a white cop William Stacy who came to know about the days of starvation of Helen Johnson's (a black woman) family that led her to steal five eggs. Instead of arresting her, he bought her a dozen eggs! Later, he and his colleagues have brought a truckload of food to the Johnson family so that they can have enough food during the Christmas season. This is a shining example of humanity indeed.
