Officer Helps Elderly Woman Get to Her Hair Appointment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- A Tennessee police officer took an 84-year-old woman to her hair appointment. While on a routine patrol, officer Lance Hoffmeister saw an elderly woman walking down the side of a busy highway. The woman, Elizabeth Hood, told the officer that just had to walk an extra mile to her hair appointment, because the bus only got her so far. Hoffmeister offered to drive her all the way to the salon, but his good deed didn't end there. The officer says he'll pick her up in the future, too.
This is how every police officer should be, there to protect and serve the community they work for.
Yeah this officer did the right thing
This happens a lot, just doesn't make news as much as the bad. Good news doesn't sell as well
That is never going to happen.
Just because he did this, doesn't mean that he wouldn't also shoot an unarmed person 30 minutes later.
@@J_Clean_1996 Oh shut up already.
😂🤣😂 keep telling yourself that ‘cause the courts have actually stated the exact OPPOSITE🙃
This is what I call, “To serve and protect”. Everybody is happy and nobody got hurt. Everyone went back home in one piece
like the anime
As long as a little old white lady ....
@@Robert-um3dz yeah, probably would’ve done it with any elderly person
@@sneery9677 cant wait for season 2: revenge of the hairdresser, I think the officer is about to suffer the loss of the old lady not calling him anymore one day and it will lead him to his redemption arc
@@Robert-um3dz Always gotta hate law enforcement no matter what good deed they do. They work their asses off protecting and serving the people and what do you do? You talk trash about them.
What a tough lady. That's quite a journey she was willing to take on. He's a sweet person!
Yep! And she REALLY values her hair appointments! Nothing was going to stop her! Love the spirit of independence - even if in this case it needed to be balanced with a bit more prudence too!
F**kin love it. She wuz not trippin. Lookin for pity from nobody. She wuz gone get that perm. And prolly walk back to the bus station
It was easy for her since she went up mountains to attend school.
She had a hot date that night
@@Fr4ncM and he was 14
I just love how determined this woman was to get to her hair appointment. It was important to her! And of course the generous offer of the officer to make sure she has a ride for future appointments! Love this!
Absolutely true person
U took the word’s I was gonna say!!! How many times do u think she’s walked to a hair appointment before it was noticed by the officer???
@@crystalcorbett1705 have no idea but hope non at all
She really said I’d rather die than look like this 😂😂
I can’t get my kids to brush their teeth but this lady will walk a mile down a dangerous highway to take care of her hair. How the generations have changed.
Was anyone else worried about how she was going to get home, then the ending he wants to pick her up from now on touched my heart I’m a grown 49 year old man we all had a grandma
I was about to say even why didn’t he ask her if she needed to get back to home before I watched at the end of the video
Yeah and I really hate my toxic one.
He's gonna get some mature lovin' every time he goes to her house now.
Nice perspective!
I hope a taxi come to her rescue.
Side note, why aren't they wearing mask? Quite risky seeing the rise in cases.
Who knows, you might not be done growing.
im crying, how did nobody else stop for her? we need more compassion in this world. thank you Officer Hoffmeister!!
Even if they would have she may not have trusted them enough to get inside the car with them.
She likely would’ve said she didn’t need any help and continued walking.
Safer to call the police and tell them there’s an elderly woman walking on the side of a busy street.
@@viewer0ne you assume she would behave that way.... but how many people even tried? I would have stopped and called 911 for her!!
Well hopefully a bus/new route will be added so she and others won't have to make that long walk
I'm not crying, you're crying
As a disabled senior citizen and living in an assisted living facility,this made me cry ,what an incredibly lovely thing for this man cop to do ,it just melted my heart .
Hope everything is well for you. God bless you!
God bless you mam and I hope all is well with you and I send love and happiness to you! 🥰☺️
I hope you're doing good ma'am. Take care.
this is why suburbia is no good.
God bless you love
“I’ve never been handcuffed before, first time for everything” PMSL! This is how every Officer should be, true meaning of protect & serve!
This is the comment I was looking for 😂
I love how she still takes care of herself, even at her age. Such a cutie.
💯👏
Cutie? Wtf
@@Eric_Gurt Right😭😭😭
@@Eric_Gurt .-.
@@Eric_Gurt 🤨
That officer has a heart of gold for helping the elderly lady to get to her appointments
No, he had a camera in his face
@@User-hv5wm why does everyone just assume people only do good deeds for the fame? Just because some people do it doesn't mean everyone does.
@@User-hv5wm alright negative Nancy 🙄
@@staycool163 it’s true, you know he’d rather beat her to the ground and put her in cuffs
👀
After losing my grandmother, watching videos like this is a punch in the gut, yet heartwarming.
*Yeah, I know the feeling of it."*
Let me guess, she was hit by a car?
I'm very sorry for your loss, I'm sure you loved her very much, and she loved you as a grandkid, Stay strong 💪
@The quiet kid at the back of the classroom chill out yo u know damn well u wouldn’t
@The quiet kid at the back of the classroom maybe you should stay quiet
As a parent, I can tell this officer was raised well,I am so proud of him. An example young people around the world should follow.May God continue to bless you and keep you in His care.With love from Trinidad.
Bless you too Cecilia !
As someone with an 87 year old grandma who rocks a walker too: thank you. My grandmother sadly isn't as fit as Elizabeth, and has had accidents where she just fainted in the middle of the sidewalk. Couldn't imagine that happening to dear Lizzie on the side of a highway
Edit: my grandma passed away August 26th 2023. She is now rocking heaven
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope that your grandmother stays safe and healthy!
@@cassiesayshi8174 Sadly her health is declining. Doesn't make her any less of a legend tho
Aww well I hope your grandma gets a whole lot better love your name btw haha very creative
“aS sOmEoNe wHo”

@@XTheBeautyGuruX❤
This is the kind of police officer action we need to see more often.
They actually do a lot of things like this. It's just all you ever hear about anymore is BLM protesting when the cops shoot a black man who was actively shooting at them.
@The quiet kid at the back of the classroom cringe
@@nordstream33 uno reverse
@Thomas Jefferson no he's cool!
@Thomas Jefferson lol
What a sweet moment .Small things but encouraging and very touching.
@The quiet kid at the back of the classroom I agree with you!
May God forgive you and deliver you in Jesus mighty name
@@goodnightmunchie You know if it was a black woman the cop would have ran her over, unloaded a couple clips and then set dynamite in the body rather than helping her
You need mental help 😂
@The quiet kid at the back of the classroom cry about it
He even gave his number to her. Now that’s remarkable!!! Pure kindness 👏👏👏
We should have more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure for people like this sweet woman.
We need to do better by our elders
cant do that with suburbia. Suburbia is meant to have car infrastructure, not public transportation. One of many con why suburbia is so inefficient and depressing.
Car manufacturers don't like that idea
@@KK-fw4zq STRONG TOWNS!! PREACH IT. USA INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT GOOD.
@@KK-fw4zq suburbia? Try living in the middle of nowhere in Louisiana. Can take 30-45 mins to get to most places around here… I take my grandma to Dr appointments and such because she can’t drive. No busses, no taxis, no trains, nothing. If everyone in the family aren’t able to pick her up that day (work or something), she has to cancel.
Wow! How many times has she made that journey, still showing herself some self love I love it!
Sad to say it, but time passes by real fast. What was once an easy task might no longer be. My Mom can theoretically wash her hair at home, but she prefers to still go to the hair salon. It's a habit I think she grew up with.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing self love should never end!
"I've never been handcuffed, there's a first time for everything." She's an absolute gem. Hahaha And the officer is a great guy too.
I think she would have maybe enjoyed that! 😃
@@lucialuciferion6720 I'm shocked she didn't try to get arrested.
Grandma a lil freak 😂
And the way she said she reminds everyone of their mom or grandma 😂
That officers is not great... pls stop ...
Exactly what the young must do to the elderly. God bless that officer.
The importance of a lady having their hair done at that age!!! It’s everything for them. Respects to this officer.
Vanity is evil.
@Nicole Hall,I work in aged care,last week Hilda who is 95 years old,missed her hair appointment due to double booking,she was not a happy camper!
@@dipitickner1927 🤣🤣🤣
So true, all the way up until the end my nanny was always worried about her hair looking bad and her nails needing to be done. I miss her so much ❤️
@@hj210 Big hugs ❤️
The fact that he gave her a number for future use is next level service
Indeed. Now she has a personal chauffer every time for all her hair appointments.
He'll strip and dance for her every time she calls.
He's gonna put her legs behind her head
being a cop is about serving the community, it doesn't always have to be crime-related
Who knows that cop could be a wife beater or a evil person
One act of kindness doesn't automatically mean the person is kind
@@chuck5419 Just enjoy the fact that he showed kindness like is it really that hard
@@chuck5419 you could be a nonce but we don't know
@@chuck5419 bro 💀
Aw the fact that he promised to keep driving her just melted my heart, that was SO sweet
This gives me memories of when I was stationed in Germany as a soldier. I helped an old German lady to cross the street. I saw her as if she wanted to cross the street and I stopped my car. When I asked her, she just grabbed my arm while we walked slowly through the intersection. All the German motorists stopped too, got out of their car and started helping too. They were tapping my back saying thank you. I felt so good. I was on my BDU uniform while driving to work that day.
What a sweet story! You're a good man and thank you for your service and all servicemen, including all who work at keeping our country safe! I pray for you all.
@@kathytaubie8286: Thank you.
Now THAT is a police officer. I am so proud of him. We could all learn a few things from him.
"We" 👉 "I"
This little lady was determined even if she had to walk to her hair appointment. Thank God for this officer to check to see what she needed and took her where needed to be. Thanks so much officer.
Hello
Finally, a story of an officer doing a good deed. Never enough of these stories in the news although they happen daily. A big thank you to this officer.
Very true.
He gets paid for it, dont congrat somebody thats getting money to do things like this, its only gonna push Real heros not being heros cause they arent making a dime for that ride
This story really touched at my heart. To think that a senior lady has to walk that far cos the city Bus only takes her so far, and especially her walking on a busy road, the bus service should put a bus along that route to ensure the safety of all people, especially seniors. Thank goodness for the officer coming along and helping her out, and offering to give her rides in the future, was absolutely a beautiful gesture. What a kind man.
Your Instagram would touch my heart
@@andrewcruz3837 oh brother 🤣
@@andrewcruz3837 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@xXxMelodyxXx18 whats yours then
Right! Great job officer.
This story made me cry. People spend so much time hating each other,and never take time out to love each other. We need more love in the world.
I'm crying too. Good for the policeman, but I am heartbroken for her. NOBODY would drive her? All those other people passed her? What else does she need help with?
That's true!!!!!
The sad thing is how many people drove past and did nothing
So true... God bless this remarkably sweet officer!
More than right love your title therr life is good😊
The tears that filled my eyes. I've worked with seniors for over 20 years and this is the most beautiful thing anyone could do. Great job Lance. 👏
You've spent over 20 years beautifully extending the level of care that people need as they age - with the dignity and grace that they deserve.
I appreciate you.
I appreciate you so much. My mom has been a home health aid working with seniors for 35 years, and I’ve helped her out frequently, it’s not easy work! But so rewarding.
Ever?
I would have probably burst into tears seeing her walking on the side of that road
The fact that she still determined to get her hair did is just amazing. It proves good vanity isn’t wasted on the young. And kudos to the officer for serving and protecting her from harm. The transit service needs to expand their service routes.
Something as mundane as a hair appointment for you or I, is a big outing for an older person. Things we take for granted!
@@crazyralph6386 well said! We age but we still carry a youthful caring heart for others and ourselves
@@kassandravaldezcontreras8075 I remember when I was a kid I would hear elderly say “ I don’t feel my age” the older I get the same I feel. I’ll be that blue haired old lady with a splash of pink and green
Or make exceptions for the elderly
My mum's generation didn't go to bars. A hair appointment was really important for their self esteem
He is a Good Samaritan. The best police officer I ever saw helping an elderly woman it’s just pure kindness. I don’t know what to say
It’s on my channel >>
@The quiet kid at the back of the classroom hey this is not funny man or I well report you to the RUclips how about that man hmmmm man :) :D
@@kesingeorge5333 its a bot don’t worry
@@kathy8770 no it isn't
And if she calls when he's off duty, he'll still show up... in his own car. .. LOL...ladies and their hair. 😊
This shows that they're still a lot of good people left in this world.
No not really, this is just for shows until the reality 💀
@@realcritical-kr2dd ngl thats an insanely interesting bait comment
It shows there is 1 person who did 1 good thing. Maybe he beats his wife and kills dogs.
🙌🙌
@@realcritical-kr2dd just you unfortunately
This just goes to show that police duty doesn’t always revolve around criminals, tasers, guns etc. Sometimes it’s just about helping a poor old lady get to her hair appointment 👍
We definitely need more people like this instead of all the hate and cruelty in the world. Love is really what is needed in this dark world.
How about you start by setting an example
@@giovannilawes9120 You’re part of the problem
And his mandatory classes on caring and crisis intervention start when in his county?
Seriously people we have to show what it is to be honored w the badge to protect our communities. Best wishes to all. Make your day amazing and never stop moving.
There's alot of it already, its just the media doesn't want us to see it
Trying to hold back the tears…reminds me when my grandmother used to walk to the grocery store or to church and back home because she had no one to take her. She’s 98 and living with us now.
Cherish everyday you have with her. Wish I still had my grandmother here with me. Miss you grandma Jane, Always!
@@lydiaspringer8196 sorry for ur loss
wish her and your whole family good health and happiness! 😄❤
All that walking is probably why she made it to 98, when I was a little boy my best memories were walking with my grandmother.
You know what though my neighbor is 90 now and he’s always walked everywhere I feel like it helped him in a way . Man looks healthier than me
Now that's a real police officer.
"To protect and serve"
Much respect to you sir
The best video I have seen all year. The officer's parents raised him well. And I'll bet grandma is smiling big. It should be a requirement for all police officers to get to know the communities they serve by walking through them and allowing people to know them.❤
Mad respect for this officer. If more cops were like this they’d have an easier time winning the public over and getting us to trust them.
Edit: I’m a 2 time trump voter that supports the police but I still recognize that there is a lot of police misconduct.
🙌 YESS. Poor lady would have made it in about 3 month. My goodness where is her relatives or a social worker.
there is plenty, not shown on media tho
@@xenonwx agreed fully. Some people just can't get a clue, and from that make such statements and conclusions etc.
@@itsnowornever4812 unfortunately lots of older people dont have relatives to look after them, and if they do, their relatives choose not to look after them or check on them😣
I have nothing but respect and admiration for this cop. My question is how will she get back home???
“I’ll never forget you” he says, what a powerful statement.
What does that mean?
On behalf of Everyone that loves their grandmas:
Thank you, officer. Sincerely, I appreciate you.
This really made my heart ache with an overwhelming level of emotions.
Officer, your grandma is proud of you, for being you. But, this definitely made her smile.
Again, thank you.
That melts the heart. Doesn't matter how old us ladies get, getting our hair done is important enough to walk a mile with a Walker. Now this precious woman always has a ride from a good man.
We need more cops like this one.
instead of saying this is how every police man should be we all should be like him
I don’t see you being like him
@@andrewcruz3837 you wouldn’t of done anything to help her
@@giinjiemperor i helped an old lady the other day. try again 🤷♂️
This is protecting and serving. Protecting the elderly from a possible fatality and serving her.
What a good man!
That's how all officers should be for all humans no matter age, or color!
Good job officer 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Look at her. Got her hair done. Makeup popping. Get it mama! Cool officer for taking her and volunteering taking her to future appointments
Wow. That brought tears to my eyes. Hats off to the police officer. You’re a good man With a kind heart.
I’m sorry but this was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, grandma wasn’t missing her hair appt 💁🏽♀️ Kudos to 12 for this one 👏🏽
What a kind and considerate officer he is for assisting the old lady head to her hair appointment on time by offering her a little ride there. God bless him! Make sure to help the elderly! 😇❤️
This is a Blessing to see. Thank you for caring about others'. The fact that he is truly concerned with her and went that step further to give her his name and number so she wouldn't have to take a bus and still have a long walk with the walker, that she won't have to do that anymore, is phenomenal.
It's also a reminder to me from my childhood and growing up with wonderful memories of 'Aunts and Uncles ' - no blood relation - that were Police Officers and spouses that treated us as family.
Plus Mamas oldest brother was a Marshal in L. A. County. Always very proud of Law enforcement.
What a good man! We need more stories like this - I'm tired of the bad news.
Same!! 🤍💙🤍
Then get rid of the bad cops.
Unfortunately it's only the bad news that gets attention 😕
This is really kind of the officer. We need more people like him. He’s such an amazing guy!
There is but the media won’t show it because it won’t get main stream attention which is sad
I know right. That was so sweet. Showed his upbringing and kind heart. 👍🏽
Too cute. I would’ve helped her. So sweet everyone needs to be like him. We all need to help each other out ❤️
Talking about “vanity” - Such a determination to beauty. I definitely have a competition. Utmost respect for this elderly women.
It might not necessarily be I would suspect she lives on her own and she gets a good chat out of it / human interaction a lot of times people forget about their older relatives
Wow This Is Why I love Police Who helps elder people ❤️❤️
It’s on my channel >>
You should hate the people who leave their older people to go wherever they want to go without knowing if they'll make it back home safely. This cruel world 😩
This kills me because so many older people don’t want to be the trouble and don’t ask for help.
My husband and I have helped numerous elderly with cleaning to drs appointments. There’s so much help that’s needed in our communities. ♥️
She is just so cute!! I wanna hug her. The cops a sweetie too 😍😏
Our seniors go through so much without complaining. This really broke me down😢 Thank you officer for being there for her🙏🏿
You haven’t been around a lot of elders the n
@@ssjssgecko5411 Been around many. As a matter of fact I'm finishing up dinner for a 97 year old now.
@@laurymakesaway6695 weird cause my grandma is always complaining about something was abusive to my mom but it was Jamaica so it was seen as fine and thinks she has the right to complain about my mom and she would complain about her mother my great grandmother like she wasn’t in her late 90s
Sweet, we need more people like him in this world. Thank you officer 👮♀️
that what this country needs more officers like him!! bless him and Elderly Goode

Elizabeth lol
LMAO this comment 😆😂
Such a good person!! I’m actually in tears because I can only hope that everyone has such a beautiful heart as this officer does!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think we should all take a moment to appreciate the kind police officers out there, like this. Protecting the community from bad people is one thing, but helping people, like this officer did, is also another thing. This officer is such an amazing guy.
This is "Southern hospitality" at its best. I salute you, "Officer Lance", for the great kindness you showed to Elizabeth Goode. LOVE in action. God bless both of you. What a fine, outstanding LEO!
Yes, God I miss TN for THIS reason. I know there’s good people everywhere. But THIS is common for us in TN.
Or we could just build a comprehensive transit system and this wouldn't happen in the first place...
What a kind-hearted man. We need more people like this in the world.
Nothing will stop a woman from getting to her hair appointment. Love it.
Good job officer :).
This touched my heart. The government should provide free car services for our elderly to take them to their appointments and the grocery store.
Or maybe some reliable public transit
We have this and some people wanna complain about it as they don't like socialism.
Oh so I should pay for it with my tax dollars?
@@ImKraX well we already pay 700 billion for the military, I'm sure we can spare a little thst
@@Crimzz-xh5qb that 700 billion is not able to cover what the US military has to do.
If anything, we need to rewrite the tax laws so the rich will actually pay their dues (and, unsurprisingly, they don't).
Not only is Lance an officer of the Law...he's a decent human being! And we need more of those! Blessings on him for his kindness!!!
Kudos Officer. At every age women want this look beautiful. And this one is no exception, and she has a sense of humor.
That was so nice, we need more people in the world like this officer 💙 🙏
Oh how sweet. This how everyone should treat the elderly. We have to care for them. Kudos to you sir
''To Protect And Serve'' Glad to see a officer doing the protecting part, we PRAY for officers and all of our men and women on the frontlines🙏 God bless them All sincerley
The economy is seriously hurting seniors . Who can afford a ride ? Just getting out once in awhile is a treat and not many seem to care . Thank you officer great job 👍😊
As a European, the economy is not the problem, it’s the infrastructure and public transport.
The USA is built for cars, not human beings.
God bless you, Lance. That’s why I always support our police! Thank you.
Aww soo nice to see he was able to take her . These elderly people have a hard time when no one is there to help them
I also live in Murfreesboro, TN, and we need good people like him.
Why don't you become like him?
@keshalashay she should be in NC....we check on the elderly here and love them ❤
What a great man this officer is!! God bless him!!

Thank you for taking her. 😇🥲😇😁❤❤
*THIS is what life should be about. The beauty of simplicity and caring. I love it.*
The interaction between these two is so wholesome. A job well done to you Officer Hoffmeister
Heartwarming! An elderly, disabled person has to put herself in a dangerous situation just to run a simple errand because the only bus available to her doesn’t even have a route long enough to serve the needs of her community! Brave!
THANK YOU! Let’s get to the ROOT of the issue. When you live in a good area, the bus only goes so far into your neighborhood. It’s ridiculous. A shame our elderly have to live this way.
@@Porter5habazz exactly. Public transportation is pathetic in this country
@@Porter5habazz It's a shame anyone has to live this way,

Thanks for your service officer. This is the real meaning of policing.
I felt very sorry for the elderly woman walking on the side of the busy roadway. I am glad that he was there to help her.
So kind of that officer, and the lady is do adorable, don't know why I can't stop crying.
It's those onion ninjas again!🙂
No way you actually cried💀
What an officer? So kindhearted! Bless all the MEN IN BLUE!
A lovely thing to do from a kind man & honorable officer.
A story worth sharing to the world. Outstanding job from the officer himself.
I have an elderly mom so I know how difficult it can be to walk anywhere that’s too far. What a sweet man! Bless him and his family.
What an AMAZING POLICE OFFICER... What would we do without them!!!
Thank you kindhearted Sir...
It is good to hear a good story sometimes, instead of horrific reality! Nothing like someone helping someone else out that did not ask for help but obviously needed it.
