These dudes were usually in the cold in shorts garbage bags, etc and looking for anything to toss over whatever rags they had on. 

Looks like they are still around.

Haha, so the tourist just happened to have his camera pointed on the selfless little-paid officer handing out 100 dollar shoes to random homeless man and just wanted to share it with few of his buddies but accidentally turned out to become a story published in newspapers and tv-channels  

I was skeptical when I heard about it as well.   I think it was definitely staged.  But still a nice gesture on behalf of NYPD.

I bet you anything the homeless man sold his shoes for drugs or alcohol.

Another great suggestion. Wouldn't surprise me if this fellow had some form of mental illness. How you find anything to laugh about is beyond me.

Still, some shark in a suit will back him just to sue, and get his 15 minutes of fame.  Pretty shitty.

No, I used to do this thing called "Midnight Run" back in the early 90's, the bad days, where we would go in the middle of the night to feed the bums for credit. 

I called it "Midnight Bums" and got a few friends to go w me,.  We would get tanked before hand and really mess w the bums, but it was funny since they were tanked too. 

We would have contests who could dress up a bum in the most ridiculous ensemble.   We would put pink sweatpants and a blue blazer on one bum, differnt collor and gloves and socks on another etc. 

apt title! doesn't sound like a homosexual pastime at all!

why didnt the cop give the homeless guy a job?

why didnt the cop give the homeless guy a job?

Two reasons. He's a cop, not Walmart. And most of these guys don't WANT jobs. Too mentally ill, or lazy or apathetic.

I bet the bum has obamaphone though.

This bum is now demanding $$$$$ and making the cop look like a chump for his good dead.  Not all bums and drunk homeless are saintly people in need of pity or compassion. 

This cop should go find this douch and bring a plunger w him.               

There's always the option of just LEAVING THEM ALONE
