MORGAN COUNTY, Georgia -- Faced with the somber task of informing four children that their parents had been killed in a car wreck on Halloween, a big-hearted Georgia state trooper opted to do things a little differently.
Rather than just announce the devastating news there and then, Trooper Nathan Bradley decided to take the costume-clad kids under his wing for the evening and allow them to enjoy Halloween. He also started an online fundraising campaign to help the family.

I saw this and thought it was one of those little humane stories that one needs from time to time. Yes, not telling them about their parents was dishonest and yes, it doesn't erase so much harm many police departments have done to black people in the US, but it's just one of those things that remind me that there's still some compassion out there.
