Officer prevents suicide and provides a hug

A highway camera along the Beltline Bridge in Raleigh caught an amazing video just after 7 p.m. Wednesday. A man contemplating suicide is talked back off the edge. Then the officer helps assure the man everything will be okay with a universal act of kindness… a hug

According to news reports the officer was off duty and was headed home, but he stopped and reached out to the man and developed a rapport with him.

With all the anti police feelings it sure is nice to share a video like this. Everyday officers prevent suicides and offering reassurance to people in need.
