Good man. And it was not a publicity stunt for those other disbelievers. It was a notable act of charity & goodwill by a kind-hearted NYPD Officer!! I say we offer him Order membership for his chivalrous attributes. :)

Thank God for him and others like him...I wonder at all of those disbelievers- when was the last time they participated in a random act of kindness?
