‘Walk With Us’: Protesters Chanted As A Sheriff Puts Down Baton To Join Them

Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson high fives a woman who called his name as he marches with protestors of police brutality and in memory of George Floyd on May 30, 2020 in Flint Township, Mich. Protestors marched to the Flint Township Police Department Headquarters where they were met by police in riot gear. Swanson deescalated the situation by asking one of the protesters what he wanted of them. They replied to walk with us and so he did with some of his deputies.Xxx 053020 Flint Township P 9 Jpg Usa Mi

A Michigan sheriff who put the baton down to join protesters has gone viral in Flint Township on Saturday.


Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson was with police officers in riot gear. The demonstrators spoke with delivering a kindhearted speech demanding officers stand with them in their fight for justice.


“The only reason we’re here is to make sure that you got a voice — that’s it,” Swanson said in the viral clips. “These cops love you — that cop over there hugs people,” he said, pointing to an officer.


Swanson smiled and high-fived people in the crowd, who responded by chanting, “walk with us!” And that’s what he did. “Let’s go, let’s go,” Swanson said as he and the cheering crowd proceeded. “Where do you want to walk? We’ll walk all night.”


It was an image of cops people haven’t been seeing and it was welcomed across social media.


On Friday Swanson addressed George Floyd’s death via a Facebook post.


“I join with the chorus of citizens and law enforcement officials alike, calling for the swift arrest and prosecution of each police officer involved in this appalling crime,” he wrote. “The actions we witnessed on that video destroy countless efforts to bolster community policing efforts across our nation, and erode trust that is painstakingly built.”
