Police have been clashing with protestors all over the US after the death in police custody of African-American George Floyd.

Countless videos of violent clashes have gone viral but this one was shared for rather different reasons.

It’s the moment this sheriff put down his riot gear to join the protestors on their march and it’s quite the watch.

Across parts of America, police and protesters have been clashing.

In Flint, Michigan, something else happened.

This is the exact moment when Sheriff Chris Swanson put down his helmet and baton — and joined protesters on their march.pic.twitter.com/VHnwnpUy8r

Well that brought a tear to my eye.

Proper community engagement and leadership.

Others really need to take note.

Today I asked my parents if the police can protest as civilians, and they told me that they would most likely loose there job if they did. To know that he did this, it really helps me believe that there are good, amazing people in the world.
