A police officer in Milwaukee bought a single mother two car seats after he stopped her car for her children were not in child-safe seats. Lashae Jackson said she was expecting a serious ticket from Officer Kevin Zimmerman for not having car seats for her two young daughters.
Instead, Zimmerman bought and fixed two car seats for the girls, Niyah and Sky, and gave the single mother a verbal(口头的)warning.
"My girls couldn't stop thanking him and it made them smile and shout out to Officer Zimmerman at District 5," Jackson said on Facebook. "We appreciate it a lot. "
When he asked her why she didn't have car seats, Jackson said she couldn't afford them at the time. "With bills coming up and winter coming up, I have to get coats and hats and shoes for my kids," Jackson said, "So it was hard for me. "
So, Zimmmerman went to Walmart to buy two car seats. He also stopped by the police station to pick up stickers and children's books for the girls. He then visited Jackson's home and fixed the car seats himself.
"I am a dad of three kids and can't imagine anything happening to them or not being able to keep them safe in their car seats," Zimmerman said.
The Milwaukee Police Department thanked Zimmerman on Facebook "for going the extra mile and going above and beyond our call of duty".
