Update: Officer gives boots to homeless man
NEW YORK—The New York City homeless man — whose gift of boots from an NYPD police officer became an online sensation — is back on the streets with no shoes.
Officer gives boots to homeless man
The New York Times ( http://nyti.ms/UjCGbY ) found him Sunday night wandering barefoot in Manhattan. The paper identified him as Jeffrey Hillman.
Asked about the $100 all-weather boots Officer Larry DePrimo gave him on Nov. 14, Hillman says he’s hidden them because “they are worth a lot of money.”
He says he’s grateful for the gift, but he wants “a piece of the pie” because the photo was posted online “without permission.”
An Arizona tourist snapped the photo of the officer presenting new boots to Hillman. It went viral after it was posted on the NYPD’s Facebook page.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

So the homeless guy with the cold feet is a total idiot who thinks he is entitled to a piece of the pie (what pie?) and should get compensation for his photo that was posted online without his permission. Good luck with that, *Bleeper inserted*.
The cop is still a good guy and I bet he'd still do it again in a heartbeat - just maybe not for this guy.
What a jerk.

Well, may be he literally wants a piece of pie.
I know I do.

Wonder what he did with the other pair of shoes given him
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

Regardless of "what he said" you know he's sold them. If he hadn't, he'd be wearing them. Nobody walks around barefoot in the winter when they have perfectly good shoes.

sold or hidden - what kind of Life is that? I cannot imagine being barefoot in that weather - you know the poor man is ill.. heartbreaking. Truly and utterly heartbreaking. Nice his family said he was always welcome

Re: Update: Officer gives boots to homeless man
It's so suprising when a cop does something nice that it gets international attention.
I guess we're pretty used to them being anything but nice.
