Far too often people tend to forget that police officers are normal people like you and me. As the current political climate attempts to blame police officers for every societal woe and as the mainstream media tries to paint the men and women in blue as the bad guys, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that these people put their lives on the line every single day just to keep their communities safe.
Police officers really are a special breed of people: they're expected to keep calm in intense situations and are forced to make life or death choices in the blink of an eye. These people are expected to be just as comfortable chasing down bad guys in high speed chases as they are keeping members of their community happy and calm.
The picture below is going viral for a very obvious reason. The 89-year-old woman in the photo recently had a tree fall down in her backyard. To her left is Officer A. Ayana who offered his assistance while she waited for building inspectors to arrive to inspect the danger.
This heartwarming picture just goes to show how amazing our nation's police officers really are. So, if you ever hear someone speaking ill about a cop, just show them this picture and let them know how wrong they are.

Police are expected to be comfortable around deadly weapons and fast cruisers.
But it's their work with the community that really shows off the real meaning behind the phrase, "Protect and Serve."
Showing that they're people too, these cops gladly spend their time hanging out with kids of all ages.
When a tree fell down in her yard, a police officer offered his hand to make the 89-year-old feel safe.
The picture is going viral, and it really is no surprise! Special thanks to the Brookhaven police department, and police officers everywhere for keeping us safe!
