As interactions with police in America go, it was the very opposite of the mace and rubber bullets witnessed this week.
In Flint, Michigan, protesters urged officers to take their side as they demonstrated against the police brutality which led to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week.
One local sheriff took them up on the offer. “These cops love you … so you tell us what we need to do,” sheriff Chris Swanson told the crowd.
“Walk with us”, came the response from the crowd, in footage which has since gone viral online.
“Let’s go,” Sheriff Swanson said. “We’ll walk all night.”
