In a world filled with so much hate speech and racism, it's always nice to know there are still good people out there. Detective Overton, a cop in Utah, is one of those people.

Detective Overton is being praised for his compassion after he was pictured buying a hot dog for a homeless man.

According to Jonathan Allen, who posted the image on Facebook, the man had been going through garbage cans, looking for food before the Salt Lake City officer spotted him. He asked the homeless man to come in with him and bought him some food at a branch of Utah hot dog chain, J Dawgs.


Allen praised the cop in his post, saying:

“Thanks for extending this friendly act of kindness to less fortunate citizens of Salt Lake City. It was humbling. We need more compassionate people in law enforcement like yourself."


In response, the Salt Lake City Police Department thanked Detective Overman for his generosity.

They said:

“We are proud of our officers and the compassionate service they offer our community everyday."

And citizens seemed equally impressed.

Jesse Watters Has Complete Meltdown After Republicans Lose The Midterms—And We're Grabbing The Popcorn

Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed sheer disbelief after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

A Trump advisor told CNN that the election results were "essentially too big to rig." President Donald Trump has said he accepts the results and even acknowledged that his widely unpopular war in Iran played a significant role in pushing Americans to vote for Democrats. Affordability concerns, chief among them the price of gas, also contributed to the backlash Republicans experienced at the voting booth.
