For your heartwarming Christmas gift giving special, after catching a woman trying to steal eggs to feed her family, a compassionate police officer in Alabama brought two truckloads of food the the woman and her family.

Officer William Stacy caught the woman trying to steal food at a local Dollar General store but instead of arresting her, he decided to try and help her out of her plight.

On Wednesday, Tarrant police delivered two truckloads of groceries to the woman, who on Saturday was caught stealing five eggs from the nearby Dollar General. Instead of arresting Johnson, Tarrant Police Officer William Stacy bought her a carton of eggs and sent her home with the promise to never shoplift again.

That in itself, Johnson said, was a blessing. But those blessings now seem to have taken on a life of their own. Tarrant police said they’ve received calls from across the United States and world since hearing of Johnson’s plight. People have offered food, money and clothing.

It’s been so overwhelming, said Tarrant Police Chief Dennis Reno, he had to bring in a second police dispatcher to handle the volume of calls. Police officials today also set up a fund at People’s First Federal Credit Union on Ford Avenue in Tarrant to benefit the Johnson family.

A Merry Christmas, indeed.

Yup, they are so racist against black people that not only didn't he arrest her he bought her food then the whole department got involved and it went viral. I have seen officers do this before on many occasions over the years when I catch people stealing food. I have seen mothers who steal with their kids and while one officer is dealing with mom, the other take the kids out and buys them stuffed animals or a toy.

I love how the mainstream media only runs the stories about how bad police officers are and not the good they do. Sure, there are a few bad apples, but you get that anywhere.

except I heard about it before this post on a major news channel,,,


so, I guess they cover it after all, while also covering the protests of those cops who don't fit this bill,,,


and the racism isn't specific to white officers, its an illness amongst AMERICANS of all shades, including those whose occupation is in a public service area,,,

This is awesome. It's unfortunate that more police don't serve and protect their communities with an understanding of the populace in mind. Hats off to those officers. Their good will should be celebrated especially at a time with as much racial tension as there is now.

Nearly every time i see a post of yours, it's about colour? Grow up and get over yourself and live and let live? Cos if anyone has a problem about racism on this site it's YOU, plain and simple!!

Really, and just which channel would that be? What network?

And I would agree that racism isn't specific to "white" officers, seems to be quite heavy right here.

Nah, the unfortunate part is that the good ones aren't news worthy. Even more unfortunate is the rate they are a dying breed and being drummed out by the psychopaths.

As good old Odumbo recently stated, the police need more government training. Imagine!!!

Some people have such a bad case of this illness that they project it onto others.

no need to project what is already present,,,

Much more so in some than others.

I trained that officer to be that way

You don't train someone to be like that. There are typically two reasons people become cops. One is they truly want help people. The second is they are adrenaline junkies who want to go chase down rapists, murderers, drug dealers and gang bangers and over look or get pissed off when they deal with the petty crap.

Cops go through training.....they don't just become cops and hit the streets with no prior training......thats where i come in when I trained and taught him, and he applied it.....

lol, typical,, thousands of posts on hundreds of topics,, but some only see when I happen to contribute to a racial conversation

oh well,, no figuring out perception,,,,we are all free to our own,, as are you

if we were all really concerned about 'live and let live' most of these posts bashing and calling out people and groups would not exist,, now would they?

Twist and spin, twist and spin, twist and spin. It's always the same, now as then.

These good stories happen more often then we are lead to believe. Drama sells in the media world, not happiness and joy. Either way, this is a great story.

I agree , empathy and compassion are always great stories ,,,,

there should be more reporting on it,,

wonderful,,,,life is a balance

does seem a shame we have leaned so far in leading with negative as the standard reporting MO

They should do a story in the media on how a local man lost everything and gave away all his remaining finances to random strangers on the street. But that got no coverage. But the shooting that happened that day and the car accident was reported. Our craniums are filled with such horrible things these days. Good thing I have windows so I can look outside and see some happy squirrels playing.

Oh so very true but not normally in this context, emphasizing the positive.

Refreshing thought isn't it? Not the fact of a positive but that it made it to the forefront.
