All too often, police are painted as the bad guys rather than the actual criminals they try to catch.

Sure, some overstep their authority but a new video making the rounds shows an especially nice officer who decided not to charge a student with speeding and instead help him tie his tie. Yep, you’re not reading that wrong.

Last month, the student from the University of Wiesconsin-Stout was pulled over after speeding near his campus while running late from a presentation.

After the student pulled into the parking lot, the police officer kindly tied his tie for him and decided against ticketing him, instead simply giving the over-eager driver a verbal warning and telling him to “slow down”.

Now that’s the Christmas spirit!
