It is 2024 now. Michael Pointer is a police officer. Recently, his kindness moved a lot of people on the Internet. What happened?

    These days, Pointer met 10-year-old Kamarri Brooks at the Westwood Community Center. He had a talk with this boy. During their talk, Pointer found that the young boy loved playing football. He has been playing football for three years. He is known for his dedication (奉献), often arriving an hour early for every practice. However, Kamarri didn’t own a pair of football cleats (防滑运动鞋). “He said he had no cleats, but all his friends do,” Pointer said.

    Touched by Kamarri’s situation, Pointer decided to take action. He purchased a new pair of cleats and socks at the sports store. Then he went to Kamarri’s home and gave them to Kamarri.

    Carissa Brooks is Kamarri’s mother. She thanked the officer for what he did. “Officer Pointer is so sweet. What he did is important to me, because I am a single (单个的) parent,” she said.
