A cellphone video of a Philadelphia police officer helping girls bring their clothes to the laundromat has gone viral and the woman who captured the moment says it shows "all cops are not mean and nasty."
Bernice Daniels was waiting at a stoplight in North Philadelphia Wednesday when she saw a Philadelphia Police officer pull his SUV over to help two girls as they struggled to carry baskets overflowing with clothes down the street.
The woman hit record on her smartphone and began narrating as the officer -- 22nd District patrolman Sammy Brinson -- swiftly put the laundry baskets and bags into the back of his marked Ford Explorer. He then drove the clothes to the laundromat a block away with the girls in tow on the sidewalk.
"That was so nice. Oh my gosh, that was a blessing," Daniels says. "That was good deed."
Daniels told NBC Philadelphia she felt "very emotional" seeing the kind act. "I was truly honored to have been able to experience his good deed while being in the presence of my children," she said.
After Daniels posted the video to Facebook, it quickly gained traction earning nearly 200,000 views and more than 5,000 shares. Philadelphia Police was one of sharers adding that Brinson was "doing what he does best — being a genuinely awesome guy."
