All members of law enforcement deserve our admiration and respect.
But Massachusetts State Trooper Luke Bonin even more than most, we feel comfortable saying.
According to a Massachusetts State Police Facebook post, Bonin spotted a homeless woman named Lynn Murphy on the side of the road this month.
Bonin had just left court, learned that Murphy is a mother of four and proceeded to purchase food for the new friends to enjoy together.
He had no idea anyone was even around to snap a photo of the compassionate act.
“Trooper Bonin, we know you do not want or expect publicity. We know you didn’t want to be noticed, but you were, and the job is proud of you,” the state police’s Facebook message reads.
“We commend you for your selfless act, and for “doing the right thing” for someone less fortunate than most people."
As documented below by CBS Boston, Murphy says she thought Bonin was going to get her in trouble for panhandling when he first approached.
To her very pleasant surprise, however, he presented her with a meal instead.
And that’s not all the police officer did.
“I thought he was just going to hand me the meal but when he said, ‘Come around the back, it’s such a beautiful day, we’ll have a picnic,’ the mother told the outlet.
“It touched my heart.”
And this story continues to tour our heart.
David Procopio, a State Police spokesperson, told The Herald News that this incident speaks perfectly to what Bonin is all about.
"It really reveals his character," Procopio says.
