Police Officer Hugs His Attacker

When a desperate man came into the police station wielding a knife, one police officer responded in a completely unusual, but perfect, way. Instead of sounding the alarm or attacking the man the officer sat down and started talking to him. Thankfully, the conversation was all this man needed to change his mind. He handed the police officer the knife, and that is when the police officer surprised everyone and gave the man a big hug. It turns out the man had just lost his job, his guitar was stolen and he was in a desperate financial situation. All he really needed was a hug and someone to reassure him that everything was going to be okay. What an incredible act of kindness!
