Holiday sting operation story goes viral

[@kcdrew69]

Kansas City's "Secret Santa" is the 2nd the city has had. The first died so this guy picked up his job. It's a great and proud local story. He does it every year.

[@nicholasclaus9695]

Kevin E I also am a secret Santa

[@dsmith3134]

Maybe we should all do a secret Santa for someone this year.

[@TheCrazymomto6]

I love this Secret Santa! Amazing man. Doesn’t want recognition, just to spread love and joy. This time, he lets the officers get the recognition they deserve!! Amazing video, thank you!!❤️

[@7camscdan249]

Yes it's great to see some positive things happen for a change..

[@lafondawilliams]

they happen all the time but it doesnt drive ratings like fake news does

[@codyshepard5288]

This is absolutely wonderful and heartwarming!!!

[@madagaskar701]

WONDERFUL.

[@judil3294]

CBS I have to commend you for not ending each video begging people to subscribe. So refreshing after enduring those from NBC. Thank you.

[@pegleg09able]

I agree with you!

[@buddhidev7877]

Kudos to the secret Santa and cops

[@quiettornado1970]

Yep, I can watch that over and over and over and over and over and over and over ...

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Better to give than to receive. It has to feel good to be giving joy for a change instead of sadness. Especially at Christmas.

[@h.plovecat4307]

More of this please.

[@pegleg09able]

I love Steve Hartman's stories...have you seen the one about the World War 2 widow? amazing story!!!!

Love the pd. Blessed are the peacemakers

With my luck I’ll probably be smoking a blunt and go to jail but hopefully they still give me that money lmaooo

[@rayvilla1]

There is beauty amid a Trump-torn era! There is hope people and we just have to dig deeper to find these untold stories of heroism, of kindness and love.

[@Brucev7]

Yes, until many humble themselves and turn back to God, they will not know the God of the Bible, and His Son and Savior, Lord Jesus Christ, and live a changed life, in peace and unity. May God bless the United States and our President DJTrump, Jr 1 Timothy 2:1-6

[@emilywiebel3238]

Right I love seeing people coming together and making others happy with so much hate we are living though. Especially with a so called leader who’s actually only leading ignorance, hatred and violence. I love seeing these stories that are bringing people together no matter their race, background etc. hopefully some trump supporters and followers will see some of these videos and follow in the act of kindness instead of following in acts of prejudice, hate, and just pure ignorant evil!

[@emilywiebel3238]

Brucev7 you realize trump doesn’t care about anyone unless your a millionaire, white male. He can’t stand people who middle to lower class, he doesn’t like women other than for pleasure and he loves seeing our country being torn apart with hate and prejudice. He loves that he has all these ignorant followers mostly racists that love that their president is racist so that feel they can now openly be hateful and think it’s perfectly okay. I’m not very religious but you seem to claim your really religious. You need to be praying heavily for this country not to got back in time and start another war amongst ourselves bc that is exactly what he is trying to do.

[@Brucev7]

@@emilywiebel3238 You're making very broad statements. I look at what he has accomplished. More than any President, I have ever seen. Not about religion, about a relationship.

[@Brucev7]

@@emilywiebel3238 He has a brashness, not untypical for the part of the country he was raised in. And I think many wish he would bridle his tongue some. However, how would like it if people, who do not know you, threatened your family, yourself, were working to overthrow this Country, transform it from a Liberty, Constitutional, Bible based Historical, Family one? Can't you see? Murdering, dismembering babies is wrong. Supporting what God condemns is wrong.

[@ingram1225]

Is there an update on this is is this still going I just saw this video for the first time in 2019

[@benjaminmcclatchey9814]

Go 5-0!

[@angelbishop4164]

So an anonymous rich white man calling himself Santa paid a large sum of money to bribe the public to like police officers, totally doesn't sound like Conservative propaganda... That's sarcasm if you can't tell.

[@kadelammers114]

It’s a man giving back to the community. Cops are not bad people. The majority of Americans like cops because believe it or not they keep us safe and enforce laws. There wasn’t any mention of political sides.. what makes you think every cop is a conservative? Why is it so wrong for a man to give up some of his money to help others? Your comment is really confusing and really doesn’t make sense if you watched the video

[@kadelammers114]

CBS is also a liberal leaning news source. So why would they promote cops being good if cops are conservative or if this was conservative propaganda? It really doesn’t make sense for a liberal news agency to try and “boost conservative views”

[@angelbishop4164]

@@kadelammers114 I didn't call Police officers bad people, but it's very interesting that you thought of that first. I didn't call the police officers conservative, at most I said they participated in conservative propaganda. That's what this video looks like, whether or not they participated in the propaganda knowingly is irrelevant. I don't have to tell you, they show you themselves. Here: "The Plain View Project, in conjunction with Injustice Watch, a Chicago-based watchdog group that focuses on criminal justice issues, investigated social media accounts of more than 2,900 officers, plus 600 retired officers, from eight departments across the country, including Dallas (1,048 total posts) and Denison (seven total posts), extending as far back as 2011. Many of the posts included in the database, are disturbingly violent, and often target African Americans, activists, Hispanics, immigrants, Muslims, LGBT people, and women." Thats a quote from the news article and here's a link to the database where they saved the posts: plainviewproject .org/data I respect individuals, individual people who rise above the "shoot first, ask questions later" policy that we train our police with, which has made the worst of them become famous. I don't give out blind loyalty to mass organizations, especially when that organization was born out of trafficking human slaves across the nation. The majority of the nation is afraid of police officers. Fun Fact: In low-income neighborhoods, people are so afraid of police officers that they hesitate before calling the police in an emergency because they have to decide if they are more afraid of the police showing up or more afraid of the threat that would have made them call. I've seen this happen, first hand. It's not a joke. Ignoring the problem, and treating human beings like minority issues just don't exist, that's only going to hurt your precious organisation in the long run. It was created from racism, and the evidence that they still hold onto those values is accumulating with each passing week. Rise above your raising and accept that you have a problem, that's the first step to cleansing your precious organization of the systemic corruption. Goodbye.

@@kadelammers114 What do Conservatives love? Fighting the non-existent 'war on christmas", Rich white guys, Police Officers, and good publicity. Check, Check, Check, and Check. The "santa" character here is a fake, don't you know that old trick? This type of Billionaire will occasionally throw money at some charity when they need the public to get over something horrible that just happened, get some good publicity, and then they go back to being a villian that evades the law and profits from a system they know is rigged in their favor. Instead of doing something about the causes of these problems that are making these people desperate, he's plugged a bullet wound with a bandaid. I don't approve.

It's a wonder the cops didn't take the money. Maybe a few did

[@michiganmom857]

Robert Stack You need some serious self-reflection.

[@robertstack2144]

@@michiganmom857 why don't you educate yourself on how cops in states seize and keep peoples money, vehicles, personal property. The only reason this made the mainstream news is the police want good press, I may say using other peoples. Why don't you investigate for yourself why peoples assets are seized without due process. The get back to me. Also why doesn't your mainstream media show police atrocities?

[@emilywiebel3238]

They have their body cameras and also the cameras following making this video so I doubt they could have without it being known. I did think about that myself though but then thought well they would get caught red handed lok

[@robertstack2144]

@@emilywiebel3238 they only turn them on when they are about to go non-consensual contacts. When they are all lovey dovey or do a crime what do you think they do with their cameras?

Robert Stack Many men are criminals, but it is unfair to assume that all men are this way. I am very thankful for the countless police officers who are there for us every minute of every day.
