A Massachusetts State Police trooper is being praised for his kindness after stopping to have lunch with a panhandler.
A person who knew nothing about the situation snapped this photo and posted it to a Facebook group in Fall River, captioned "And they say chivalry is dead...Much respect."
Massachusetts State Police did a little digging and found out the trooper in the photograph is Luke Bonin, who is assigned to the State Police Dartmouth Barracks.
After reaching out to Bonin, he was surprised that someone had taken his picture, stating he wasn't seeking any publicity.
Upon being asked, Bonin told his fellow comrades that he drove by the woman, who appeared down on her luck, on Davol St. She was holding a sign and asking for help.
Bonin drove to a local establishment, where he ordered two meals. He returned to the woman and told her "I'm not here to kick you out."
He told her to pick one of the meals. She did, and they enjoyed lunch and a conversation together.
