Two officers from Montana's Great Falls Police Department have become an internet sensation with their act of kindness. Senior Police Officer McAdam and his trainee, Rookie Officer Kazior reportedly aided a family in distress when they were on duty. When the two got a report of a runaway in the area, they reached the scene and found that everything was stolen. The boy who had snatched the property had vacated the place and even taken away all the food. The family was robbed of EBT cards as well; so they could not purchase groceries. Rising to the situation, the officers bought food for the family with their own money. They went to the closest grocery store and purchased enough food to last several days.
