The police officers who serve in our great nation so often get a bad rep. Sometimes, admittedly, the criticism is warranted, but what many people forget is that the majority of these brave men and women risk their very lives each day in a bid to keep the rest of us safe.
Which is why I simply love stories like this one, wherein an officer proves that they’re great human beings.It began when Iesha Roper-Boswell placed a call to report a gas leak in an apartment complex.
South Hill Police Cpl. C.B. Fleming was the officer to respond, though once he’d quieted Iesha’s fears, he went ahead and did something that would leave her on the verge of tears.
As Iesha explained to WTVR: “I was telling him that my daughter, my niece, and some of the other children here were afraid of cops.
“So when he came and played with them, I captured that moment, not because I thought it would go viral, but it was amazing that my niece didn’t break out into tears.”
Officer Fleming showed he’s not just a dab hand when it comes to enforcing America’s laws, he’s also fairly decent when it comes to coloring and playing dolls!
The man himself, a 15-year veteran of the force, told WTVR: “When I got into this job, I knew there was something different, other than just writing tickets and being the bad person all the time,” “I figured if I could be that bright spot in someone’s day, then that’s all that mattered.”
“He’s awesome. That’s the only word you can really use to describe C.B.,” Iesha added. “It’s just amazing, the bond he has with the children.”

In upstate New York, a local mother saw a pile of Imodium A-D boxes in her teenage son’s bedroom. She was surprised, because as far as she was aware, her son didn’t suffer from any form of incontinence issue.
The pills were being bought and consumed for something more sinister entirely.
The product is flying out of stores from behind the counter, because when consumed in a large enough quantity, it replicates a heroin-esque high. Read the full story here ▶

According to the health officials, the difference between being in a coma and being in a vegetative state is that a patient in a coma is completely unresponsive, does not react to light or sound, cannot feel pain and whose eyes remain closed.
Comas normally last for a finite period of time – days, weeks or even months. A patient in a vegetative state is still unconscious, but such a condition can be characterized by involuntary eye movement, teeth-grinding and facial expressions. Some patients in a vegetative state can remain so for years or indefinitely.
Per reports, the young woman who has been in coma for 14 years, got pregnant and gave birth at the nursing facility. Read the full story here ▶
