I guess the local PD did not get the BLM memo about how evil they are.
I'm sure BLM will say this guy was kidnapped and harassed by the cops when all he was doing was walking to work.
Pelham Police Chief Larry Palmer and his officers talk to Walter Carr. They gave him a ride and got him some food so he could make it to and through his first day on the job
Bellhops CEO Luke Marklin gives Walter Carr keys to a car.
Jenny Lamey's social media post about Walter Carr's journey on foot to make his first day on the job got a lot of attention. And inspired Carr's boss to give him a car.

This guy will make an outstanding Marine. We know he can hump already.

A real go-getter. You are right. He’s the type of person who will finish the job without hesitation and no complaints. BTW, there’s no bus system between the 2 cities?

He’ll probably make a fantastic Marine. No elegant solution to the problem, just a brute force solution, no quitting.
Hey diddle diddle, straight up the middle.

Buses? What's a bus? Oh, those things that big cities have.
But seriously, his car broke down so a bus may not have been an alternative as he may have been not on a bus route and a lot of buses shut down their routes when it gets late. Pure speculation on my part.

Great story and sad to see all those White Cops and that White Lady ‘harassing’ the young man..NOT...
Earlier post correct, some clowns will turn this into a problem and the kid will probably get that ‘newish’ car stolen from him once he gets home - UNLESS ‘they’ wait till he gets a few paychecks.
Same subject...(workers and wanting to work)
I had a standing rule in the Asphalt/Construction Business....
Show up at 5 AM with your lunch and one is guaranteed a job — I would find something for them to do.

"No elegant solution to the problem, just a brute force solution, no quitting" That's one of life's most important but ignored keys to success.

Lots of good people in this story. Sounds like Bellhops got a conscientious employee but if Walter wants to be a good Marine he’ll need to double-time that 20 miles in boots with a full pack.
