After their overnight shift, a group of police officers in Kentucky did not immediately rush home but instead went out and performed a touching and moving act of kindness for someone in need.
There is and never will be too much kindness, love and mercy in the world. A little love and kindness can go a long way, making a world of difference to someone struggling. The kind act shows the recipient that they matter and that others recognize them and their needs.

A post on social media mentions how four officers with the Florence, Kentucky Police Department – Michael Stanaland, Hunter Jacobs, Andrew Fields and Macean Cook – voluntarily mowed and cleaned up one citizen's yard.
During a previous shift, while responding to a medical run at a house, the four officers noticed something. They all spotted the sad state of the property's lawn and landscape. The Facebook post mentions that the officers were then informed that the gentleman living at the home was sick. He was unable to properly take care of the lawn.

Officers Hope To Inspire Others To Help Others, Perform Acts Of Kindness
The post also mentions that none of the four officers were seeking to be noticed for their kind deeds. Instead, they were motivated by something else entirely.
"In speaking with these officers, none of them did it for recognition; they did it because they knew it was the right thing to do is to always try and help those in need," the post reads.
