HILLVIEW, Ky. – A photo of Officer John Nissen with the Hillview Police Department in Louisville has gone viral after he consoled a woman who had just learned of her sister’s death.

It happened July 24. Nissen received a call from dispatch about a distressed motorist, who had pulled over on the side of a road.

“All we knew from the dispatch call was that there was a woman who was crying and needed help in her car. She opened the door for us when we approached, and I could see she was visibly upset,” he told People Magazine.

The woman, Barbie Henderson, had just found out her sister had passed away and she became so upset, she called 911.

“As she cried, he listen to her and wiped away her tears. He made sure she drank water as it was extremely hot outside, and he spoke to the family on the phone each time we called until my arrival. When I arrived he wasn’t standing on the side of the car. He was seated right next to her just as we would’ve been while she was grieving. What an awesome guy!!!!”

Usually that is a setup for something bad to go down.
Thank God this guy wasn’t like the usual fare.

I suspect that this guy is the usual fare.

I’m in NY state.
Usual fare varies from location to location.
Here, the cop would have had an attitude and screamed at her for opening the car door.
This cop really is unusual, wish there were more like him.
