This story is a little old now, but I stumbled upon it on YouTube, and wanted to share it, cause it is quite a touching story.
Coles - Eight year old kid with cancer (and a dream to become a cop) strikes a friendship with a police officer who visits his school. After learning about the boy's dream and health condition, the officer talks to his superiors, and eight-year-old William is sworn in as the department's first honorary police officer. He died three weeks later.
RIP, little guy.
