Videos at the link. One is of the whole march and is about 2 hours long. The last 25 or so minutes show how Sheriff Swanson turned the tide of the demonstration. He is to be commended.

FLINT TWP, Mich - What started out as a small protest grew to a large protest with people marching down Miller Road in Flint Township. The protesters were marching to bring attention to the death of George Floyd and what they say is injustice.

When protesters arrived at the Flint Twp. police station they were met by police in riot gear.

Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson talked with the protesters and ended up joining them in the march.

2. That was amazing. Yet there sure wasn't much social distancing going on...don't know what to think

about that.

3. I thought the same thing, but social distancing is hard in that situation

More people wearing masks would have made a difference.

4. I noticed the same thing. The sheriff wasn't wearing a mask.

Still, that was a peaceful protest march and he helped make it happen, so good on him.

5. 1969 march on Washington

There was a row of riot police in full gear facing the crowd of protesters. I was maybe 15 feet from the line. one of the officers in front of me lifted his hand and opened it toward us. on the palm of his glove was a pin with a peace sign. I always wondered if his fellow police knew he was flashing a indication of his sympathy for the cause.

6. Yes. When law enforcement joins rebellious Americans, they will overturn the hype against

the rebellion.
