Kind Acts of A Boy and A Peace Officer

As I was watching television, and reading National Geographic, a story comes on the news about how a peace officer stopped to play football with a boy who was playing ball by himself.  Now, I call this boy a boy, yet this boy threw the football much better than I ever could, so maybe young man might be better.  It was touching to see someone take time out of their day to play with someone who is lonely, and I could be talking about either here.  I did not catch all the details, and the story only caught my attention, because it was something I never see on the news.  I am not sure who was enjoying the game more, the peace officer or the young man.  In my mind, they both were there for the other, and I do believe they were somewhat strangers.  I like seeing this kind of stuff on the news, especially while reading about cultural divides in National Geographic.  Maybe one day, we can come together as humans and throw a round of friendly ball as they did.  Maybe it would be nice to see more of these kind of stories in the news.
