“I spotted a police officer across the street from our house watching for speeders. Initially two little boys who looked to be about 10 years old sat on a curb eyeing the officer and his motorcycle closely. Once they gathered the courage to approach him, he talked with them for a couple minutes and showed them his police speed radar. I watched as they chatted, thinking how fun this must be for those boys. Then one of the boys started running quickly across the side road, and I heard the officer yell, “Eleven miles an hour!” The boys and the officer cheered for their fast speed. And I cheered on the inside for having a public servant in Madison, WI who pauses to show kindness in the midst of his daily tasks! I snapped this photo right as the runner was coming to double check his speed.
Remember neighbors: Kindness spreads, and today on a street corner in Madison, Wisconsin, it’s speed was eleven miles an hour!”
