Today in Portland...
Dec. 13th, 2014 08:23 pmToday on SE 82nd Ave in Portland, there was a woman panhandling at an intersection.
While we were driving by, a police car pulled up and the officer got out and approached her.
I thought she was going to hassle to woman or have her move on. As we passed, though, I noticed that she was giving her a sandwich.
I didn't get it on video, and there's no picture to go along with it, so it'll never be one of those viral posts that gets shared around the internet. But I thought it deserved a mention. It's nice that it's common enough that I saw it in person -- it happens even when the cameras aren't out.
