a bear hug

sometimes, all we want and all we need is someone to show us compassion.

a pulitzer prize-winning photographer who is now a professor at san jose state helped stopped an attempted burglary at a bank by putting the suspect in a bear hug.

"when he (the professor) bear-hugged that would-be robber, he didn't struggle. in fact, he went limp, stood still, and waited for the police to arrive." (when the police came, the professor had been hugging the robber for 10 minutes with nobody else around them).
