Many years ago when I worked in a tool warehouse in Seattle a Motor officer turned into the little street our loading dock was on to make a U turn. There was gravel and loose dirt and he lost it and it fell over. I happened to see it so I jumped off the dock and ran over and helped him get it upright.
At first he was a little put out but then he realized I was just trying to help and wasn't questioning his man hood trying to right that heavy thing.
It paid off in spades and many of the motor officers had lunch at the little cafe across the street where I went frequently too. Got invited to sit with them many times and even a free lunch from time to time.
Got me out of a ticket once too.
