SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â California Highway Patrol officers played the part of Santa Claus for one little girl who made a very big difference this summer.
The lights were flashing and Christmas music was blasting through the loudspeaker as officers drove downtown toward 4-year-old Leilani s home.
Leilani and her dad Lydell Short met them on the sidewalk.
One officer walked up, crouched, and asked Leilani in a soft voice if she remembers them.
She nodded.
She and her dad met the officers last summer during a Black Lives Matter protest.
