A video that has recently gone viral shows a black woman in Des Moines, IA approaching a white police officer and giving him some food and water, and a hug. The background of this incident is the Nov 2 ambush and murder of two police officers, Sgt. Tony Beminio and Officer Justin Martin, while they were sitting in their patrol cars. Their funerals are scheduled to be held today and tomorrow in their respective Iowa communities.<\/p>\n

The woman in the video, Courtney Bach, was not aware that she was being filmed. The tragedy had hit home for her in two ways: she lived near slain officer Martin, and also she is the daughter of a police captain.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod says to do good and love your neighbor \u2013 that means everybody,\u201d Bach said.She said she\u2019s tried to stay off social media because the response has been so overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n

I feel like the act doesn\u2019t deserve attention because it should be expected from everyone,\u201d Bach said. \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be a surprise.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
