90-year-old Arnold Abbott, a veteran of World War 2 and founder of Love Thy Neighbor, has been feeding homeless people for 23 years through his organization.
This past weekend he was arrested along with two Pastors when trying to feed homeless people in a Fort Lauderdale, FL park. He faces 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
“One of the police officers said, ‘Drop that plate right now,’ as if I were carrying a weapon,” stated Abbott.

hang the stupid a–holes
This is disgraceful..yes some of the police just like to harrass people because they think it is fun to do so.. it is not a crime to feed hungry people and they should be out there helping to feed these people instead of being part of the problem, they should be part of the solution.
BIG BAD COP .Dont you feel ashamed of yourself? Then you wonder why some call you pig?I know a lot of good cops out there, who wound never do this. You make them look bad, as well as the badge.
The chief needs to tell the mayer to go to hell.
this is so wrong
This is ridiculous…allow the man to help others…Respect his veteran status….
Stop the Communist police force now…………………
Everyday I see things like this posted. A citizen of the US is trying to help someone who is less fortunate and the cops are like the gestapos. I’m wondering about this? Is this just two jerk cops or are they getting commands from someone higher up to treat innocent people poorly? This is a 90 year old vet for God’s sakes just trying to feed someone who has no home and no food. Isn’t this what Christians are taught to do? Life hasn’t changed much from Jesus’s times has it? You’d think that we would learn. I believe there is such a thing as civil disobedience still in thhis country. Wake up and use your own heads and hearts police, if it sounds like a bad order than it is!
It isn’t so much the cops, they have to enforce the law..It is the city for electing to put that ordinance in place.
Idiots
