Hell ya, be an example!
They are just regular people too. It takes a trickle to start a leak that turns into a flood.
@Brahim Zizi As for your comment. I was one of those people killing Iraqis. Not because I hated the.. but if someone tries to kill me I’d kill them it’s that simple. If I give you a bag and tomorrow you return that bag filled with explosive, you arent a friend.
@BarronVonSchnoot Spoken like a person who lives behind a force field or was very sheltered. You have no idea of the plight of black America. Bye felicia
@Detective Inspector Go back to breitbart man. Know your place.
@Janice Andama Fun fact: capitalism is the reason why cnn is bs.
there are many who are regular people and many are BRUTALIZING, ABUSING, MURDERERS
Flint has changed whole environment.
Flint may be redeemed. They need it. To be remembered for something other than bad water.
Are you referring to the quality of it’s water supply?
@bobothecreepyclown the scandal where the government stopped bringing water in from Detroit and instead started pumping water from the dirty untreated river causing many pipes to corrode and leak lead in their drinking water causing children permanent brain damage among other health problem. Yes, the water. Folks still suffering today.
And yet they still don’t have clean drinking water.
That dude looks like a WWE character!

@Johnathan A.l.X and you are anti-American.
The Big Boss Man
He’s smart, cuz his actions de-escalate the situation and won brownie points with his community. Makes his job easier in future too

So is he 🔥ed?
@Jando Padilha Will give you information https://youtu.be/dBWOhW-pddk
ThePsychosis no since he’s probably making the situation better for them
@JEBUS Yep.. pandering at its finest.
SPEECH 100. I love this guy
This gives me hope. Just a little. Thank you, Sheriff!
Marcel Schaer do not believe this pro cop propaganda. Listen to protestors who are SCREAMING that these cops are inciting violence right after they make themselves look good
That’s a good man right there
Hands down
I’m hoping to see more people like him. Thank you for your service, and thank you for that beautiful moment.
Me too. I’ve been in law enforcement for 20 years and we can get through this together by walking side by side.
@About Me what a loser. Either you are part of the problem or the solution. Your stance is quit obvious…SMH!!
THIS IS PRO COP PROPAGANDA DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE. Cops are doing this on purpose to look like good people. Once the video ends they beat people
@Grace Kellman The cop de-escalated by showing that he works with and for his community. What is *your* game plan and *your* goal? I’m just a curious German. On demonstrations, I like to talk to cops, mostly young dudes. I don’t want them to get the impression we’re on opposite sides, so we don’t end up with cops in riot gear and with tanks, too.

That Sheriff is just a decent stand up MAN !!
@wild cat
Looks like the Devil stays busy !
@Malice In Mind coming from a moron saying that
@Sandy Sandy The real evil i see in society are people taking advantage of peaceful protestors, By rioting and looting stores, and causing violence upon innocents that didn’t choose to be involved in any of it, Also the people that encourage violence.
@This Is an Overrated Image
Well said !!!
God Bless You Sylvia 😊❤️!
You go Mr. Sheriff, ❤️ thank you and the other cops and officers who’ve shown solidarity. 🚔❤️✊🏽
RIP MR. GEORGE FLOYD. MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY. SENDING MY LOVE AND A BIG BEAR.
@Country Horse true that
@wild cat Be better! Talk about this so-called looting is nothing but a dogwhistle for White supremacists. Don’t use that to dismiss BLACK PAIN!
@Country Horse Stop using coded language.
Should make it ilegal for police or any authorty, to choke hold , knee hold on the neck , or any physical abuse on people or animals , I love all type of people , all color and form .
https://youtu.be/SJzf6uWyRoc FYI, George Floyd has a long criminal history. Broke into a pregnant woman’s house and put a gun to her belly and threatened to kill her and her baby for money. I mean, what exactly was he doing that the police were arresting him? Did you even bother to find out? How many could have been murdered by this man before he was caught? None of their lives matter though. All the innocents who have died, their don’t matter. All that matters to you is some felon porn actor with a mile long criminal history died. Pathetic.
dude look like a MMA fighter presenting himself
I don’t care, as long as he stands there for the right thing.
The sheriff signs in the background could’ve easily been UFC signs 😂
I bet he’s a black belt for real.
He seriously represents!
😅 He’s a good man. I like him 😊
Give this guy a freakin medal.
Why? Why give a white man a medal? Seems like a PR campaign.
So he should get a medal for showing basic human emotion! Letter to Santa Claus: desperately seeking a real life white male hero because the only ones we have are fictional
loolikyl0005 well in this world, Basic Human Emotion is pretty rare..
Beautiful 🙏🏾❤ EVERY SHERIFF EVERY COP SHOULD DO THIS AND GUESS WHAT THE PUBLIC WOULD STOP PROTESTING IF WE ALL COULD JUST FOR REAL LOVE EACHOTHER IN THESE HORRIBLE TIMES. GOD IS NEAR MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤
The problem is that they can’t do this in Cali Washington NY and other place that have looting and violence since if they let their guard down they could die. Even if there is 1000 peacful protesters in a croud of 1100 you don’t know where the violent protesters are. It’s impossible in bigger cities.
The thing is that most cops are like this but the media just focuses on bad cops more then good ones so people get the impression that there are more bad cops then good cops.
What a moron, yes, if they all did that, we would have actual Communists taking over America. Get off your knees and fight you coward.
This is pro cop propaganda. Listen to protestors, not cnn. Protestors will tell you that they get beat up right after these videos stop
Sheriff Swanson did exactly the right thing. This is a leader!
Seriously, this is a masterclass in true leadership. It’s easy to get defensive and react in a manner that causes division, but notice how his references to the protesters are inclusive and invokes a sense of unity.
The good cops need to stand up if they are serious about cleaning up there image and get rid of the bad cops and higher ups to set an example
The Sheriffs hair, tie, and suit makes him look like action movie star than a Sheriff 😁
Most of all his character and kindness is what makes him shine more.
👍👍
“There shouldn’t be bad cops because if they are bad they shouldn’t be cops”
Damn that was a good line !
whats green and fearless? a frog with a machine gun
My stepdad used to say people that wanted to be cops shouldn’t be allowed to.
