In November 2015 the Dutch Police Department in Eindhoven received an emergency call from a mother of five who suffered from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). She needed to be rushed to the hospital. When policemen and paramedics arrived on the scene and escorted the lady to the hospital, a few policemen stayed behind to watch the kids before they could be taken to a relative’s house. The policemen noticed that the children were hungry and had not eaten.
The cops then did the most marvelous thing by cooking the children dinner of fried eggs and sandwiches as well as fruit plates. The unnamed policemen also posted a picture of them doing the dishes soon after. The FB post was liked by 72,203 people and attracted 6000 comments praising the good deed of these policemen.
