A simple act of kindness from a Halifax police officer has become a social media sensation.
A photo of Constable Shan Currie sitting and talking with a street busker was posted online, and it soon became a hit. It started trending on Twitter with the hashtag #HaliCop, and was transformed into a meme as users began to share their stories of how police have interacted with them on a personal level.
People started having fun with the picture, and began to Photoshop the cop’s likeness into a variety of situations that they thought were humorous, such as sitting in one of the chairs of the opening of “The Friendly Giant”, on the rocks at Peggy’s Cove, and even in a painting by Vincent Van Gogh.
