Adorable Video Of Police Officer Gifting A PS5, Find Out Why

Author Jeff Kurkjian

Now we asked the same question, why would a police officer gifting a PS5 even be a thing? Wait until you read this amazing story because it without a doubt is a perfect Cup o’ Joy story.

This video is thanks to our friends at the Hapeville Police Department in Hapeville, Georgia.

Police Officers In The News

As you might imagine, the reality of our world today is that police officers tend to be in the news for bad things instead of getting fair coverage also showing the great things that they do for their communities. We need to hear more of the GOOD our officers and departments are doing.

If you ever need some good news stories, well you can always check out the Cup o’ Joy page on 92.5 XTU’s website.

Adorable Video Of Police Officer Gifting A PS5

The hasn’t quite taken off and gone “viral” yet but we believe that videos like this deserve to. The caption of the video sets the scene.

Officer Colleran was dispatched to a call wanting a juvenile removed from the area. The youth explained he wanted to earn money for a PlayStation. Officer Colleran, a gamer himself, was impressed with the young man and thought he would help him reach his goal.

We should not be punishing our kids for going out there and finding work in order to be able to pay for something that they want. That’s hard work and it should be rewarded not punished. The kid wants to work, he deserves all of the video games.

A lot of the times, I feel like people are less willing to work for things and just expected (sometimes kids are that way too). But this young man was raised right, wouldn’t you say?

That’s when this amazing moment happened, you have to watch the video!!

Celebrity Deaths 2023: Musicians, Entertainers & Cultural Figures We Lost

We’ve had to say goodbye to some big names this year in the worlds of entertainment, sports, politics and beyond. To be frank, it was an absolutely brutal year.

So many giants in music died in 2023. Guitar god Jeff Beck died suddenly in January at age 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis. In February, legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach died at age 94. Singer, actor and civil rights icon Harry Belafonte died in April at age 96 from congestive heart failure. In May, the world lost Tina Turner – the Queen of Rock ‘n Roll – at age 83. Iconic pop singer Tony Bennett died in July at age 96.

The worlds of television and film were not immune to significant loss in 2023. Sitcom mastermind Norman Lear died in December at age 101. Three’s Company star Suzanne Somers died in October at age 76 from an aggressive form of breast cancer. Matthew Perry also died in October. The Friends star was only 54. Bob Barker, longtime host of The Price is Right, died in August at age 99. Paul Reubens, best known for his character Pee-wee Herman, died in July at age 70 following a private battle with cancer.

The sports world was rocked by the deaths of three major wrestling figures. In June, The Iron Sheik (Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri) died at age 81. Then, in August, there were two back-to-back deaths. First, WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk died at age 79. Funk’s hardcore style has been influential to generations of wrestlers that followed. Then, Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) suddenly died at age 36. The young wrestler died after contracting COVID, which exacerbated a heart issue and led to a heart attack.

Scroll through the gallery below to see the musicians, celebrities and other cultural figures we’ve lost in 2023.
