Besides their standard tools, Hennepin County sheriff's deputies patrolling the streets of downtown Minneapolis this summer will be packing a box filled with oatmeal and other healthy foods.

The deputies are part of a new program run by the nonprofit group Matter. It's designed to fill some gaps in the food system and get nutritious food into the hands of those who need it but may not have access to food assistance or food banks.

Patrol vehicles will be loaded with bright orange boxes filled with granola bars or canned vegetables. Sheriff Rich Stanek said it's a way for officers to immediately help people they come into contact with.

Good Cop

Toronto police officer Luke Watson got a striking makeover in an effort to take a stand against homophobia and anti-gay discrimination.

Been a while... time to revive this thread with this story of a good cop:

http://mycbs4.com/news/local/florida-deputy-speaks-about-saving-baby-kingston

"And I see this car sitting in the middle of the traffic lane and it’s a lady screaming and I roll my window down and she says, 'My baby is not breathing.'”

"She just hands him to be and the first words out of her mouth were ‘don’t let my baby die," Nix said.

Nix fell to his knees and started CPR on 3-month-old Kingston. After just a few moments he hears a breath, of hope.

“I heard this one breath that he did on his own but it was very faint,” he said.

With no ambulances in sight, and seconds feeling like hours, Nix had to act fast. He told dispatchers he was going to drive Kingston to the nearest hospital, less than a mile away.

And those extra minutes saved, saved Kingston's life. He was released from the hospital Thursday night.

"The doctor there said the baby was lucky to be at their hospital, that if it did not play out the way it did, the baby wouldn’t have made it,” he said.
