The police department tweeted on Wednesday that during a random check of police body camera videos, a supervisor found the emotional footage of the Jan. 10 interaction which shows Sgt. Nick Boney and Officer Jimmy Wilson asking a woman holding a bouquet of balloons if she wants a ride.

She agrees to take a ride with them and on the way she reveals to them that she wants to buy a birthday cake for her daughter who has just turned one year old.

The cop then gives his credit card to his colleague and asks him to buy a birthday cake for the child and then they tell her that they want to go say hi to the child.

Heartwarming footage shows the officers enter the woman’s house and meet the two older children with a hug, then they meet the birthday girl and sing ‘happy birthday’ for her.

The footage showing these police officers spending quality time with this family is proof enough that our officers are the kindest and most generous on the earth. Let us pray for our police officers and commit them into the hands of God as they go above and beyond their call of duty to protect people all over the country.

“And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ””
