    I fully understood that you weren't questioning the motives of Iceboy's son, but the motives of the News people.

    Were they reporting it because the "good deed doer" was a policeman? To give the police some good press in a time of need.

    Default thanks to MOST OF YOU, and YES

    I have 3 FINE boys/men! In answer to your thoughts Mikey White! Its nice to know that there are SOME news organizations that don't just give the worst of humanity, but balance it with the Best of Humanity! That's all I have to say about this subject!

    Another link that was posted by one of my police Officer friends. He happens to be a good friend of my son! I know so many good deeds that many police officers have preformed in the Kansas City Area, that don't get PRESS,,, but if EVERY bad offense is shown on national news,,,,,,, Is it such a bad thing to show just a few of the good deeds that happen all the time

    Why is it that ONLY the Bad makes the news! http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sheriffs...vers-to-tears/

    THANK YOU CBS!!!

    That was basically my whole point. Funny during these "times" the "good cop" article comes about.

    What are we saying then? If the average Joe helps out the elderly, they sure the hell don't do a news article on how "wonderful" he is.

    If the average Joe helps someone, and expects it to make the news, then was it really a good deed to begin with! The world it full of people that do good deeds EVERY DAY, and don't get recognition, nor do they make the NEWS!

    Most news is BAD NEWS, have you ever noticed? I have often wished that there was a news cast that was NOTHING BUT POSITEIVE, wonderful stories of humanity. What dictates that 90 percent of the news has to be NEGATIVE.

    Are there bad cops? I am sure there are, but they get weeded out, and are for sure small in numbers. I do know a hell of a lot of good ones, that serve, protect, and put their lives on the line daily for all of us. It's a crazy dangerous world we live in, and I can't, for one, even think of what it would be like without them out there.

    Cops= special privileges?? Special privileges go with ANY JOB you can come up with! YOU want to get into the real special privileges, take a look at all branches of our government, local, state, and national,,,( Not to mention banking).

    Lets not make SMALL of acts of kindness, but rather inflate them, make them know to all.

    MOST POLICE OFFICERS are just like you, they just have a lot more responsibility, and many times Put their life's on the line to make this as safe a wourld as possible.

    FAIR AND Balance news is a HARD thing to find now days, with Rich Fat Cat's owing and to a large extent dictating the slant, and ANGLE they wish the stories to go.

    So when I see a story like the one in St Louis, its good to show the OTHER SIDE of the story! The Hundreds, and thousands of police officers that are good, honest, hard working people, maybe like bubba, and Mike white.

    Everyone wants justice, and hopefully justice will be served!! Nothing as Rotten as a bad police officer, they are rightfully head to a very high standard. Most live that code, to serve, honor, and protect!

    Why all the good stories coming out NOW,,,, because they are out there and happen all the time,,, WAY TOO much negative news, on a FEW bad questionable incidents... Lets let the justice system do its thing! We have a pretty good system in this country, (not perfect, but hard to find a better system else where).
