I just stopped into the local 7-11; as I was leaving, I witnessed a female Baltimore City Police officer as she told a homeless woman she had to vacate her panhandling spot at the entrance to the store. I was struck by how polite the cop was, and how she spoke firmly to the woman, but with great kindness and respect. As the homeless woman responded to her and began to walk away, the cop reached into her own pocket and handed her a couple of dollars. She told her to take care of herself and to be safe. What a blessing it was to see such “humanity” as it was put into practice by that cop. Praise God!
