A New York City Cop Bought $100 Boots for a Homeless Man With Bare Feet

On Wednesday, November 14th, the temperature in New York City got down to 36 degrees . . . and the high for the day was only 47.

Lawrence DePrimo is a 25-year-old NYPD officer, and he was on patrol in Times Square that night, when he saw a homeless man with bare feet sitting on the sidewalk.

Lawrence was wearing two pairs of socks, and his feet were STILL cold . . . so he decided to help the guy out.  

He went into a nearby Sketchers store and picked out a pair of $100 boots.  When the clerk found out what Lawrence was doing, he used his employee discount . . . so Lawrence only had to pay $75.

Then he went back outside and gave them to the homeless guy.  A tourist from Arizona happened to see the whole thing, took a photo, and posted it on the police department's Facebook page.
