“74-year-old Saleem Hasan had just stepped off the bus, setting down $85 worth of groceries — everything he had to last the month.
Moments later, a woman walked by, grabbed the bags, and ran.
He couldn’t chase her. He could only stand there — helpless, heartbroken, watching everything he needed disappear.
When Officer Franklin arrived, he didn’t just take a report.
He listened. Then he quietly went to the same store, showed the receipt, and paid out of his own pocket to replace every stolen item.
Afterward, he delivered the groceries himself and made sure Mr. Hasan got home safely.
No spotlight. No cameras. No fanfare.
Just one man choosing compassion over indifference.
In a world that can feel cruel, this moment proved that kindness still runs deeper.” 💙
