    Default Apparently, a few cops supporting the protests

    The few police willing to join in solidarity with protesters

    Reports of the protests across the country are focusing on the violence, clashes and property damage caused by a small few rather than the peaceful protest of those rallying against injustice and the police standing in solidarity with them.

    A few captured positive moments of cities where officers support the protests and believe Black lives do actually matter.

    There were moments of protesters fist-bumping police, hugs with police, and in one incident in New York City over the weekend, one officer was separated from his unit. Protesters surrounded him with locked arms to protect him from those being violent.

    In Miami, Florida and Seattle, Washington, police joined protesters in kneeling.

    While there are certainly cities dealing with violet responses from police, there are many that protesters have welcomed as allies.

    While law enforcement is due for some serious overhaul, it is heartwarming to see some police officers showing their humanity and solidarity with the citizens they are supposed to serve

    I truly believe that almost all cops are decent folks. And same with the protesters.

    There is no point trying to pretend the rightwing does not conflate protesters with legitimate grievances with a small number of petty hooligans.

Police officers need to treat all of our citizens with respect and understanding and should be held to the very highest standards for their conduct.”"
