A spotlight on a welcome leader and police officer.

To my American Friends and Family

Here in Canada, we hear a good deal about the brutal tactics of American police being used against peaceful protesters supporting “Black Lives Matter”, all the while egged on by Donald Dump.

But finally, a welcome change!

Police are putting down their tear gas and riot shields to join protesters and peacefully demonstrate for reform. They are building bridges of support in their communities rather than listen to the divisive rhetoric of President Donald Dump to dominate the downtrodden.

In one great example of humanity and leadership, Genesse County, Michigan’s sheriff Chris Swanson met a crowd of protesters, and took charge to lead their march through the city.

Swanson told the crowd “I want to make this a parade,” and the cops put their weapons down, took their helmets off, and marched together with the protesters to ensure their voices would be heard, their rights to peaceful demonstration protected, and the safety of all ensured.

This is the kind of leader America needs and that the rest of the world hopes to see.
