Edit to add:
"Young daughter of slain officer had a small toy at the funeral. She accidentally dropped it and it rolled away near President Biden. Would be awkward for her to go pick it up, and Biden picks it up off the floor and carries it over to her. Just a very sweet, very human moment)."

1. Can't watch at work so - words are necessary nt.

[soothsayer]

3. Kid dropped her mask or a Kleenex or something and POTUS picked it up for her

Something like that

Toy, as it turns out

President Biden picks up a Capitol dome toy and hands it back to Abigail, Officer Evans' daughter

40. The moments yesterday where daughter Abigail was wiping tears from her mother's face...

5. Sorry, I will edit to add.

31. What a genuinely kind, wonderful, fundamentally good and decent man.

He is precisely the president we need. Better than we deserve.

[Ilsa]

2. POTUS is a real man. And he's one of us. nt

22. He is. ...nt

[Jerry2144]

4. That is

What is what a good person looks like

6. Let's play.

What would the former guy do?
Keep it and demand a reward to give it back, or kick it out of his way?

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

13. No, he would just ignore it. And ignore the child as well. n/t

[fierywoman]

16. Former guy would never have gone in the first place.

[IronLionZion]

18. The former guy encouraged violent confrontations

ordering officers to commit violence against protestors to worsen every situation.

[hibbing]

7. Damn, here come the tears n/t

[peppertree]

9. Can you imagine Needy Amin?

"Hey, Cheech - get that fucking kid outta here!"

"Yes, sir."

"Don't yessir me - do it, dammit!"

[ShazzieB]

10. This is the kind of thing that points up the HUGE contrast

between President Biden and He Who Must Not Be Named.

I can easily imagine Obama and some other presidents doing something like this, too, but I'm sure it wouldn't enter the Traitorous Psychopath's head to pick up a toy even for one of his own kids, let alone somebody else's. The idea of him ever lifting a hand to help a child or anyone else is unimaginable.

12. Trump would have somehow managed to make it all about himself.

[AZ8theist]

19. First of all....

The Treasonous Pig is so out of shape, he'd be unable to bend over and pick up anything off the floor, and secondly, if he could bend over, the only things he would EVER pick up are golf balls and $100 bills...

[C Moon]

25. :D

[ShazzieB]

27. :-D

[wryter2000]

29. Obama

President Obama was giving a speech somewhere, and a man in the crowd said he'd taken his daughter out of school so she could be there. On the spot, President Obama wrote her a note to excuse her from school that day and had her come up to him to get it.

[C Moon]

11. That is so sad. :( Poor girl.

[Mr.Bill]

14. Rebublicans on the crazier wingnut websites

will call him a pedophile for doing that.

[Mr.Bill]

15. Trump wouldn't have even been there.

I know this because there was nothing stopping him from being there today, was there?

[AZ8theist]

20. Nope.

The only funeral I want to see the Traitorous Pig at is his own.

[Lucinda]

21. Nancy could've done better

I think Nancy would've done better to just ignore what happened instead of calling attention to it. She called the object "one of your distractions" or something, which was kind of insulting ; perhaps it was a comfort object, not a "distraction".

[RussBLib]

34. Yeah, her laughter seemed way off

Try again, Nancy

[aggiesal]

23. I heard that the White House presented miniture Capitol Building replicas to the kids ...

If you look close enough, you'll notice the dome that the object rolls around.

I believe that is what the little girl dropped.
She gets the added bonus of meeting the President on video.

24. Biden's humanity shines through in every circumstance

We are so fortunate to have him as president at this challenging time.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. This made me smile

[wryter2000]

28. He's exactly what we needed and still need

I can't imagine anyone better.

[hamsterjill]

30. Such a genuine, human reaction

To a child who didn’t know what to do. Whether to sit and ignore the toy, or go and pick it up.

Kindness. What a breath of fresh air!!!

[AllyCat]

32. A man with compassion. What a great President!

33. Rt TY

[yellowdogintexas]

36. Watched the funeral service on You Tube WH channel just a little while ago

Such a beautiful and dignified service. President Biden, Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi all gave beautiful eulogies.

I found myself, in the middle of all my appreciation of the dignity and compassion of this service and the words of our leaders, becoming furious that we were denied this kindness, dignity and compassion for the past four years.

[colsohlibgal]

37. What A Difference

We now have a President with genuine empathy who replaced one with not one shred of it.

[Mike Nelson]

38. Tremendously moving...

... speech by Biden. I knew what he was going to say, of course. His greatest skill is making genuine each time. It's the same speech, but it's not the same speech. Yes, Biden's interaction with the family was beautiful.

[secondwind]

39. God bless our President!!!!!

[Stuart G]

41. Clearly one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen...K and R, ... just 42 seconds..

[BobTheSubgenius]

42. That was incredibly sweet, and an anecdote from one of the worst days of their lives.

As the pain and loss fade some, as they inevitably do, that will be a nice memory to hang on to...and a nice little story the girl can tell for the rest of her life. How many people get special, unguarded attention from a POTUS?

i can't tell you have meaningful I think this was, and is.

[Hotler]

43. A President with manors, refreshing... nt

[Wild blueberry]

44. Kindness

Thank you.
