Sometimes There's Bad Cops, But Sometimes There's REALLY Good Ones.

Police Detective Jack Mook leaves with his sons
after the best court hearing he's ever had to attend.  

There's good cops, and there's bad cops.

Bad cops shoot unarmed teenagers, arrest people for breaking nonexistent laws and pilfer money from innocent people. 

Good cops play by the book. And they go above and beyond. They are heroic. And sometimes, like one Pittsburgh detective named Jack Mook, really take human decency to a new level.  

He'd been mentoring a couple kids, two brothers who were not having a good time.  They disappeared for awhile. He got worried, tracked the older one down and got to the bottom of the story.

The brothers' foster parents were abusing them.

Yeah, he could have opened an investigation into the foster parents (Actually, I do believe they're in trouble.) But he had to do something else for the kids.

Mook pulled some strings and got the brothers a new foster parent: Himself.

So now the unmarried Mook is basically a single father to the two kids. After he became a foster parent, he took things one more step further, as you will see in the video, below.

Hat tip to Laura Stark for alerting me to this one.

McKenzie Carey And Her Dad Might Be Best Pageant Duo

From Buzzfeed, we get news of McKenzie "Kenzie" Carey, 12, who competes in pageants.  

McKenzie Carey and her dad in their pageant video.
which has gone viral.  

Nice enough. But she needs help from her dad because she had mitochondrial disease, which makes it hard for her to move around.

So dad serves as a bit of an interpretor during their dance routine to the Miley Cyrus song "The Climb."

According to the Blaze, Kenzie had wanted to have a routine to perform like other girls in pageants, so she enlisted her father's help.

I love the contrast. McKenzie in her pretty, frilly pink and purple and blue dress, and dad, this burly dude with a mustache, red baseball cap, jeans and tired t-shirt concealing maybe a bit of a beer belly.

The act works beautifully, as anyone can see in their video, which has gone viral this month.

Probably what makes this so compelling is the look of happiness and security on Kenzie's face as she dances with her father, and the proud I-would-do-anything-for-you expression on dad's face as he dances with his daughter.

Kenzie and her dad are doing this in part to raise funds for expensive treatment for her illness.

Still, the performance makes Kenzie's dad a strong contender for Father Of The Year.

Watch and find out for yourself, but warning: Kleenex alert:
