Last July 4th, three police officers went into a supermarket to get something cold to drink.
Once inside, the cops were1 by a store security guard who asked for2 with a suspected thief. The woman in question didn't have the look of an3 criminal. She was obviously scared, and her cheeks were wet with4.
The cops looked 5 her bag." We just saw containers of 6. Nothing else," Mike told CBS New York.
"I'm hungry," she explained7.
Being caught, the woman no doubt expected to be taken to jail for the8 of being hungry while poor.9 the cops had other ideas. "We'll10 for her food," Sojo told the11 security guard.
The three men had no discussion at all. It went 12. Instead, each of them 13 out 10 dollars to pay the tab. She would not be arrested today.
The woman wept in 14. Drying her eyes with a kerchief, she 15, "Thank you, thank you."
She wasn't the only one touched by this act of 16. "It was a very beautiful,17 moment," says Paul, who was at the store. He was so18 by what he'd seen that he posted a photo on Twitter for all to see.
But attention was 19 what the officers wanted. They were driven by a far more common emotion. As Sojo told CNN," When you look at someone's face and see that they need you and they're actually hungry, it's pretty20 as a human being to walk away from something like this."
