He saw her standing alone by the sidewalkāhead down, arms crossed, clearly not having a good day.
As a police officer, he felt it was his duty to check in.
He approached gently and asked,
āHey, are you okay? Do you need any help?ā
But instead of a thank you… she turned sharply:
āWait, are you trying to rob me or something?ā
The officer froze.
āWhat?ā he asked, confused.
āItās just weird,ā she said. āCops donāt usually ask people if they need help unless thereās something in it for themā¦ā
The street went quiet.
Bystanders paused, watching it all unfold.
He took a deep breath.
āNot every badge means danger,ā he replied softly.
āBut maybe this world has made you feel that way⦠and thatās the real problem.ā
What she said next left everyone speechlessā¦
