He received gifts, was given a tour of their vehicles, and was taken to class with lights and sirens. Members of the Houston Police Department also visited the young boy for lunch.
Members of the New York Police Department were equally outraged. Not to be outdone on bullying, they invited Michael and his family to the Big Apple. The NYPD then rolled out the red carpet to give him and his family the ultimate VIP experience.”
