A police incident you should know about

The woman in this picture with a police officer is Helen Johnson from Tarrant, Alabama. She was caught stealing at a nearby Dollar General and the police were called to arrest her. When the officer arrived, he asked her what she stole. She said, "Five eggs, to feed my hungry children."

The police officer took her back to the supermarket and bought her enough groceries to feed herself and her kids. Helen started crying and told the officer, "Sir, this is too much for you to have done for me." He replied, "Sometimes we shouldn't apply the law but must apply the humanity."
