Public Servant Acts Humanely.....wow this is really important news!  Stop the presses! 

Don't get me wrong, we need more police behaving like this, but that the Toronto Police service made a point to contact the media about this tells us that this public servants behaviour occurs with such infrequency, that this simple act of kindness is a newsworthy event.  Additionally, contacting the media is very much self-serving aggrandizement and it cheapens the officers actions for the sake of scoring a few high profile publicity points.  

Our own do this every day in every way, yet we don't call the media about it or seek recognition, our own act humbly humane and do the right things because they're the right things to do, not because we want recognition.
