NYPD officer buys homeless man shoes and socks

A photo of a New York City cop has gone viral for all the right reasons. On a cold November night, Officer Lawrence DePrimo noticed a barefooted homeless man on the street. Instead of walking by, he went to a store and bought the man a brand new pair of boots. He didn't stop there. He even helped the man put them on. Officer DePrimo says, he's no hero. He was just doing the right thing.
