NYPD Officer gives boots to a Homeless Man


New York City police officer, Larry DePrimo, describes his interaction with a homeless man for whom the officer bought a pair of $100 boots.

The homeless man and petty criminal, 54-year-old Jeffery Hillman, received a brand new pair of boots from the Good Samaritan policeman to combat the city’s cold weather while passerby Jennifer Foster of Florence, Arizona stopped by to capture the magic moment on her cell phone on November 14.
