These days, it seems that most "viral videos" involving police officers are always used in an attempt to make them look like the bad guys. It's a shame that lately, with the way the political climate is going, a lot of people actually need to be reminded that police officers are people, too — people who just want to come home to their families after a hard day of putting their lives on the line.
Legendary radio speaker Paul Harvey perhaps said it best: These brave men and women have to be perfect 100% of the time, because if they make one mistake they'll be instantly accused of being bad people.
So when senior citizen Don Abrams was on his way to worship, he suddenly realized he was having some trouble with his hands and couldn't tie his own tie. Abrams suffers from Parkinson's disease, so unable to tie his own tie he walked up to a police officer and asked if he could do it for him.
The woman who filmed this scene, Amanda Pierner-Lytge, simply said, "With all of the negativity that police officers receive I want this to go viral… I want people to see officers in a positive light."
The only minor struggle in this video was from officer Jason Birschbach, who had to make sure he reversed all the normal actions of tying a tie, but he finally managed to do it!
Please SHARE this incredible viral video if you think our nation's police officers need to be treated with the respect they deserve!
So I'm working at a synagogue today.. this older gentleman came up to this police officer and said I can't tie my tie any more can you help? This is the video I caught…I'd love to see this go viral especially with all the negative stuff in the media about police. No one sees the positive things anymore…An update as of 0005 of September 18th this story has made the news in my city the link is attached…I'd like to thank everyonehttp://m.wisn.com/news/local-officers-act-of-kindness-goes-viral/35344680
