“We’re supposed to be good men,” said Officer Steven Harris.

Harris was responding to a question from local news in Pittsburgh about why he would spend $113 of his own money to solve a stranger’s problem. It’s a suggestion that all of us, from cops to kids, should hear every now and then.

The story of how Harris got into position to solve the problem comes from the Greyhound bus depot in Pittsburgh where the Police Department received a call about a man behaving “unruly.”

Harris and Officer Keso responded to the call on their bicycles, and arrived to find a much different picture.

“He was just a male who was deaf and didn’t speak English or read English, so it just turned out he needed help to get back on a bus to New York and eventually Montreal,” Officer Harris told reporters.

Keso called a translator line police use in such situations and was able to get a French-speaker to help, though didn’t explain whether sign language was needed or not.

It turned out the man had stepped off the bus to stretch his legs, but obviously didn’t hear the call from the driver that it was time to go, and watched helplessly as the bus took off for New York—his luggage and cash still onboard.

With no options for a bus, Harris “simply” used his bank card to buy an Amtrak ticket to New York.

“We’re supposed to be good men. Good men helping other good men. That’s it,” he said.

Police Commander Tim Novosel said in response to the story that Harris loves to work downtown because “he just thinks differently than most people.”

When asked why he thinks differently, Harris responded that he was raised by his great-grandmother—a different kind of woman, from a different sort of era.

When he reached for his own wallet, she must have been smiling—watching her great grandson the cop helping someone in need, trying, as she urged, to be a good man.
