If only the rich could understand that giving brings more than taking away things, it would be a perfect world.

[@alsemany]

[@wiltonmiller1417]

if everyone could be like this would be right

[@THEMADSOUTHAFRICAN]

That’s one handsome black man. And I’m not even gay..What a wonderful human being ..

[@hugoynatty9317]

Que. Dios los vendiga a estos polecias que gran solpresa para las personas que les toco esta vensicion.

[@blakkbonez8123]

This is what policing should look like protecting and serving the community not murdering them

[@vaxxor]

Good people´God i love these kind of videos, people getting something who really needs it. Not that "I bought my rich dad a lambo" bullshit.

[@86littel]

awesome gritzz from Belgium

[@necodelord]

I’m doing this this year

[@johnpaulvincentdiola7394]

This is epic to those who can donate should give it to police its epic when there the one who do stuff like this lol this made my day but if i was the one who see those red and blue lights behind me i would be nervous

[@nerlynedorvil603]

Wow beautiful

[@npcimknot958]

Blshould be icing money to help these people

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

That female anchor is adorable but she needs to get some contact lenses because she can bearly see what she's reading. Detroit cheif is a riot.

[@dhtisme7034]

Maybe a bit of prejudice going on here. Each one of these clips I've seen Secret Santa is only helping black people. Think all races can use some help too. But thumbs up for helping.

[@rrbb7579]

Did it ever occur that maybe the area he was in was one thats high poverty and happens to be mostly black?!

[@rrbb7579]

@Monica Lopez it figures someone with the last name "lopez" would say something like that..... how bout YOU climb back over the fence and help your OWN ppl out YOURSELF INSTEAD OF BEING NEGATIVE IN A POSITIVE VIDEO

[@mariecharles2694]

Wow

[@florencemasule4309]

Tears are just falling without a control. KZbinrs sometime best best friends media ever"ubuntu government".

[@anncrawford8922]

Please don't make me ugly on camera.

[@aliciasmith6387]

Hope I can get rich so I can donate like that

[@mirola73]

The police is not ALWAYS bad.........most of the time they're just doing their job.

[@cindykaye4486]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@wooddawg4868]

Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig should run for Wayne County Sheriff in 2024 in Michigan. The Sheriff’s Department in Wayne County had the lowest morale of any police agency in this state. I am begging James Craig to help my former co workers and department to get back to glory. The current leadership there is only there for a paycheck that’s it.

[@bigdawg2040]

Why doesn't anybody see that the police aren't doing anyting! The money is donated to them it's not out of their pockets

[@MrEdwin57]

God gave the blessing to the donor to give to the police who then gave it to the people. Regardless of who gives it to you l bet you would take it. Idiot...the police are doing something.. they're .giving it to the people.

[@freedom-vietnamkay2708]

Vietnam baby..

[@samuelc6787]

Btw that wasn’t Santa it was God

[@samuelc6787]

Monica Lopez no He wasn’t born that day . Do you know the day? Exactly! So I choose to celebrate it everyday I desire including on Christmas 🙂 cheer up Enjoy life love God

[@christianwhite9999]

He sounds like Steve Harvey

[@samuelc6787]

Cried

[@nerlynedorvil603]

🥀🌹🏵🏵🥀🥀🥀🌹🥀🥀

[@hazboy33]

Ya you will know who would need it. My black people.

[@Stixnstonez49]

Gets cash from the cop "THANK YOU LORD ABOVE" how about thank the officer

[@rachellovelace1974]

is it just me or that news cast guy looks like Ronald Reagan a little. XD

[@LucifersDeathSquad]

That is actually his son .

[@Rikky-B]

Why don’t we pay attention to this side of the blue

[@portcityrulez]

I hate to say it but i guess Santa didnt want to bring love or joy to any other races and before i get a ton of hateful replies, i have a mixed heritage son so im far from raciest. Im just speaking what i saw, nothing more

[@spuriouseffect]

I've seen the exact opposite comment on videos like this from places like Idaho. There are a lot more white folks in Idaho, just like there are a lot more black folks in Detroit. I'm sorry but giving is not racist.

[@ahamed4152]

its Detroit like everyone is black.

[@Bewefau]

Aww ain't that nice he's gonna give you the money to pay for this ticket he gives you so you can give right to the city.

[@davidbrescot9080]

I wish I can to my community but im Brock😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😘😍🌹🌷

[@youretrashkidlol1207]

They wasn't no white people JK LOL

[@billledbetter7978]

A heartwarming story for sure, but it’s ABC. I’m gone.

[@pjconey]

Still doesn't make up for all the crooks and murderers in his department. If there were no cameras, there would be no presents.

[@orlandobangayan8178]

Ronald Regan & Michelle Obama. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@nickolasgaspar9660]

why do people feel good when witnessing this type of "wealth distribution"...but they are pro capitalism(the type we currently have)? Its mind boggling....

[@wiseman9266]

So sad to see people struggle in life...😂

[@wswillett]

Den day all wents ann got day nails did....yee yee yee.....and the Chief instructed his officers to violate their rights.....

[@lh6353]

Cringe af

[@troypatterson7290]

People are starving everyday. Inhumane "people" try to make themselves by displaying these sort of lackadaisical gestures... #RACISTAMERICA
