I wish there had been more of this video uploaded as we don't get the whole story. Regardless, I applaud the officer for his compassion, we need more cops like him!

Cop killers taking notes on easy entry point

This is why we all need to stop making assumptions and judgements about other people. You never know what problems others have. You don’t know what is burdening them or what challenges ate confronting them. We all just need to be more human.

That wouldn’t happen btw it’s against policy

Police should not allow hugs because they could get weapon stollen and used against them etc. bad idea people should not expect a hug.

What's the context of that I don't get it. I mean a page this big doesn't have that much information about the videos they're posting it's just so ridiculous

[doorkeeper]

FAKE! YOU KNOW DARN WELL IF YOU JUST GOT OUT AND ASK FOR A HUG MOST COPS WOULD SHO-OT U...
MAYBE THE KID JUST LOST A LOVED ONE?
WHO KNOWS? FORBES IS GOOD AT CONFUSIONS. 😢

Really no assumption of guilt first and breaking the law …this guy offers him a hug! No shoot first ask questions later…oh so now it’s a love fest because of his color! 😮
