As an activist, writer and blogger exposing police misconduct, and corruption, I don't often get to see, much less write about, a law enforcement officer going out of their way to make a positive difference in someone's life.
On Wednesday afternoon, I got to witness such an act of kindness.
Minutes after grabbing lunch on State Street, near Kodak, I saw something I have never seen before.

Here's what happened.
As I was eating at DiPisa Subs, Rochester Police homicide investigator David Simpson came in and grabbed lunch to go.

Investigator Simpson then exited his vehicle, walked over to an elderly African-American woman who was pushing a shopping cart, and helped her cross the street.
RPD investigator Simpson could have done what most of us do everyday, drive right by an elderly or down and out person, without even thinking that perhaps that person could use some assistance.
Investigator Simpdon didn't have to stop.
He could have kept driving.
But he didn't.
And for that, I thank him, and give him two thumbs up!
