Kids surprise police officer with ice pop on hot summer day

It was a cool moment on a hot July day. Six-year-old Amiyah Dantzler-Clay and her 5-year-old brother Jayden saw a police officer parked in front of their Baltimore home and figured he could use a treat. “It reminded me of my daughters when they were little, and it just made me feel like I was a father again.” Both kids are fascinated by first responders — the vehicles, the sirens, the uniforms — who have been putting their health on the line each day as essential workers during the pandemic. “It could be a blizzard outside and they probably would have, you know, ‘Can we take them a cup of hot chocolate?’” Dantzler said. “They’re cool!” Amiyah and Jayden said in unison.
