With all the animosity directed at law enforcement officers — especially since the inception of the Black Lives Matter movement — it sometimes takes tragedy to bring American together again.
And that’s exactly what happened when a young African-American named Germaine appeared at the Chelsea Manhattan bombing site to offer police and fire fighters working the scene coffee from Starbucks.

And with two bomb explosions — this one in New York City and another one in New Jersey — plus a knife attack at a Minnesota mall all occurring during the weekend, this particular scene warmed the heart.
And folks on social media showed their appreciation.

@michaelkeyes Who is this Jermaine and how do we find him? This cop’s wife wants to thank him.

And that simple gesture, that act of kindness, is exactly what the country needs more of to bring it back together, to show the world that we are — above all else — Americans.
@michaelkeyes THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW,,,,,,,,GOD BLESS
