Evil only prevails when good people do nothing.
Its fantastic to see this kindness from army men, so please make the peace in Middle east countries too and dont allow Israel to generate Cannibalism groups such as ISIS Cannibals, terror groups in Middle east again( Bobi from Iran)

Police is evil and looting robbers are good ones? Thats a joke.
Respect/Love/care your neighbor as yourself ( Mark 12v30; Lord Jesus Christ taught) is on display here, so nice to see, melting my heart........ It is the instruction for us from the creator of this universe to respect each other..........in humility/humbleness, consider others better than yourselves (Philippians 2v3; )....If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others ( Matthew 20v26)....A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger ( Proverbs 15v1)...Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones ( Proverbs 16v24)............May the respect display among all human beings, from now & for evermore, then this earth will be a glorious place to live.....
*Edmund Burke*
I felt that when the officer said I might not be black but I'm gods child
Right in the soul oh man 😭
wait for that "goD's nOt reAl" comment lol
God dont have child
@@sultanhanga what about Jesus
@Cucumber Please do everyone a favor and learn to respect others' religions. Has anyone in this thread shoved or forced religion down others' throats? No.
When a man can't breath and he's begging you
to let up on him, and you carelessly show no
mercy, you are a murderer. Plain and simple.
and yet the cop wasn't arrested for 2 days
and we wonder why people are angry enough to protest and riot
@@sovietunion7643 Yeah!🤬🤬🤬
And that sick smile on that officer's face while a man was dying under his knee. He deserves a very long prison sentence.
@@ccefc_families297 so true 🙏👍💓
when u cant breath u cant beg for something
I feel like crying honestly. Evil will not win. To the police officers that protested and took a knee...Thank you.
I did. A lot.
😖😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm a 35 year old 215 lb 6'2 man and I cried.
*NOT ALL COPS ARE BAD*
And understanding
America the world watches and we hope you find your new path soon . Love to you all , stay safe and respect all. All life matters.
I live in America and after seeing this gives me some light at the end of the tunnel
As much they can stand away from the White House comander in chief orders, we can rebuilt a new faith in our broken society hearts and start to live a new hope. Love can health the scares left behind.
please stop Israel Crimes in Middle east too , and dont generate another Terror groups in this area
The world is not watching but will also contribute to confront the oppression. If change can happen in Us than it gives hope for other countries going through oppression. We the People.
I don’t think America will get back up again…
Now this is something I was not expecting! Respect for cops who are participating in this very deep and real issue.
Most of these an hour later they pepper sprayed people
Words mean nothing, none of them will act. How many of these good officers have stood by watching another officer violate the rights of civilians? I will believe they want change, when they step over that blue line and start turning officers in for violating our rights.
Still haven't seen these "good cops" breaking rank and protecting protesters from other cops. Words are meaningless.
@@Alexander03312 I'm sorry but if you didn't think this was just a publicity stunt then I don't know what to tell you

Don’t stop believing in Humanity, love, equality and peace 🙏🏿✌️❤️
AfroLocke30 several of these protesters were pepper sprayed after the photos opportunity was over. They prayed with them and then let their officers pepper spray them
@@samhunter8012 evidence pls
We rarely did. It's white people as a demographic that stopped believing in humanity but idolized power and brute force as a worthy replacement and convinced themselves that was humanity. These aren't evil people. No one group of people are... It's the unchecked toxic behaviors and actions from privilege that needs to be addressed.
Sam Hunter I hope not all of them:-/ too many bad people out there, but hopefully many more good ...
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
It's shocking how people are calling genuine acts of humanity like this "Propaganda"
It's sadder that all it takes for you to be content is a few nice words .
Maybe they felt that they want this animosity between the police and the community. Healing and trust start when people listen and work to make their community better.
Maybe because after the police were kneeing,they shot the protestors after the picture was taken.
@@lauren.534 do you have a video for that?
@@Rhinoinasuit troll
why do people have to die until something happens?
Because we live under an outdated economical and political system.
@@regular_goof That reacts when the worst already happened.
Unfortunately if history tells us anything nothing will change
Nothing is going to change. Just wait the police will gun down more people this year than they did last year. And maybe one of two will go to jail over it for a SHORT time to shut the public up. Trust me there will be another killing that we the people never hear about or they will cover it up.
people get complacent, unfortunately it can take a wildfire to force them to want change
Houston police chief has me in tears..✊🏼
@MX 3 THAT'S MY POLICE CHIEF!!
This is how you stop the conflict not by sending soldiers Donald.
Dann muss der kriminelle Mob aufhören zu plündern und zu brandschatzen.
Don’t even put this on the president. You make yourself seem very foolish.
@Dean Konstantian the countries destruction is its own doing theres numerous videos showing police escalating the violence but lets ignore that how long has protests been going on for and no change has happened at administration
They are legit burning down cities in some places the president did the right thing.
Dean Konstantian I’m disappointed of you.
This literally made me cry. It gives me hope
Me too
Same, I feel for all my lost humans.
Me too!
There isn't any hope next up world war3 white people vs black
Don't get to positive yet : )
Me too
I am so very pleased that these images were shown in the midst of the horror we are seeing. The people who are committing the violence and looting and destruction do not care about Mr. Floyd and are not the ones wanting justice and peace. It is important to separate the bad actors from those who truly want justice and equality. Same goes for police, and here we are shown some of the good ones. From Texas, love you Chief Acevedo of Houston.
It is comforting to see some doing this. But in all blunt realism, it's going to take all cops to take a stand to change collectively or face its own demise and face more chaos at the cost of the People to see real substantive change. Not trying to be dismal but in the most important fight of US history to defend the neglected, we need to create a realistic outlook for progress. ✊🏿✊🏻✊🏼✊
Yes
When the police join the protesters, watch out, Trump.
What if the military joined the protest?
Genesis so does that mean that Boe Jiden will win?
@@diobrando6131 hope not
HexaGaming198 well this aged like milk eh?
@@diobrando6131 ?
God bless these men and women in uniform who stand for unity and justice. God speed.
I don’t know if your talking about the other bad cops because they are good cops in this world just hard to find
Its a touching, moving good start.
Turn that into TRAINING AND EVALUATION and cut the racist training and behaviors out like the cancer they are.
Show the world its not all talk.
Training helps, but it can't undo ingrained beliefs. It can challenge them, but it may also reinforce them. More innovative, widespread changes are needed to address that. Funding, too. Like, less money to address protests, and more on preventing them.
Agree completely.
Thats why I said Evaluations are so important. Cant train out racism or bigotry. But you can find it and remove it. If someone fails a psychological exam or shows any signs to someone looking for it. Remove them. Instantly.
As a black woman, with plenty of black men in my family who have been harassed at hands of bad cops I thank the cops who are wearing that badge and using to protect ALL of US. I have a small son, barely Turing 2 and I see this stuff and it makes me cry.. I hurt for every mother who has lost a child to this .. or anything.. it makes me sick to my stomach and all I can do is hold my son and at night pray for him and the country.
✊🏽✊🏿❤️❤️
Definitely agreed.
As a white woman, I'm so sorry about what has happened to you..please forgive is as a race..I can't help bring born white but I am so sorry...I hope this exposes the bad cops...I hope they are scared to ever do anything like this again.
You’re not worse! Please remember that! Stay safe!
@@ivyedan7183 Come on man dont start with the white guilt. Dont buy that collectivism bs
As a retired officer, I felt hope in watching that
If only the president could show this much love as they did to the people, as they did on this day at this time, black lives should always matter ❤
@Jesus ThrewTables I apologise I only just saw how that came a cross, i only meant i wish the president could open his mind and see the way he is treating people. I'm sorry if I offended you, and I hope you're safe in these times.
All lives matter
@Mannie Illescas National guard or something like that told him to "hide" it wasn't his call, but it makes sense since there was hundreds of very peaceful protestors who wanna show love by throwing molotovs and destroy their cities infront of the white house
And the evil have a bible in his hand.
M Huque he never open a bible of his life and if he have a bible on him its just for to bait evangelicals
Because like the saying goes The devil knows Scriptures
Really sad to say.
You can tell that a lot of these officers are sick of fighting with the public and most of them want peace with their community, it’s extremely heartwarming to see everyone getting along just as it should be

0:30 isn't that a national guard? Its big if they are going to stand down aswell and support the protesters
His plate carrier clearly reads “Sheriff” which implies he is apart of the Sheriff’s Office, which means he isn’t apart of the NG.
Ignorance is bliss. 🤨
it is impotant to know there are good cops in this world
All we need is love and prayer
No, we need to take action
Kind words from the heart but misled. This is a time for making those that CHOOSE not to listen and to CHOOSE to focus on the looting versus the killing to listen to the ignored. We cannot just look at this in a broad view to be fair on all sides. It does no good to our black brothers and sisters and no good to advancement of white people to move forward from racism. POC deserve justice and not to ask them to shut up or stop feeling fed up when wronged and then offer no systemic change but bread crumbs. If you were being strangled by someone aggressively you shouldn't be judged to clawing your way out desperately. Not saying you're thinking that but I think we need more than prayer and love. Love involves understanding, universal empathy not selective and listening to them but let's be fair, black/brown people are ignored. White people are given more than prayer and I think we need to be equitable to the neglected in our society. You have a warm heart, but I wanted to mention this part cuz a lot of us are leaning on that strength that love/prayer brings but we do need more for this situation.
@Loc T just mention the criticism, don't drive it in for satisfaction. It is a foolish statement but we have 0 clue who this person is just as much as I have 0 clue about you friend. Truth without tact is cruelty right?
@@qu0dlb3t I am a black man 34 yrs old father, son, brother, dad, husband, business owner. In an 15 yr interracial relationship with 3 beautiful children under 3. I remember watching Rodney King get beat by those cops in 92, and the riots, it told me that the contract blacks had in society wasn't being held by the same people we are told should uphold it.
If that officer on George's neck had alittle more love in his heart we wouldn't be here and we won't have alot of the injustice happening not just in America but around the world.
Peace
@@mckensyq You're right. Love is a huge part but acting on that love is the other puzzle. Most Americans including the most ardent racist alt righters and maga heads have love in their hearts... It's corrupted though by inaction. Either by complacency and acceptance of shiftiness and disregard for humanity out of disillusionment and disensitized by it or by sheer hate. The issue though is that we need to act on that love right neighbor?
This is how it should be
not police spraying pepper spray and throwing teargas for no reason
Be smart policemen
and protest peacefully please
Its sad that these heartfelt moments are over-shadowed by scenes of violents and destruction on social media.
This is heartwarming. It shows that we all can be one together. I just love the peacefulness they have.
We have ALWAYS wanted to be friend with cops. Just like they hate it when we think they are all bad, we hate it when they think we are all bad, too.
2:27 , "because this is *our* city"
**Soviet Union Anthem Plays**
Listening to this brought me to tears 😭 just as watching that video of that man be murdered did . Not all cops are the same just as not all blacks are the same . There are very few but good people left in this world .
This is so touching , pace and love from EGYPT 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
Now this is awesome this is how it should be police and protesters coming together as one.
The girl praying with the cop brought me to tears...this is what we need..
When the police start joining the protesters its time for the american gov't to now make a constitutional amendment change! Police reforms need to be done! The world has had enough of it!
the rest of the world doesnt care
@@eagle2125 US need police reform and world need US government reform who intervene in other country matter and destroy them in the name of democracy and freedom
@@gurung1812 US does nothing for my country. US does not own the whole world
Eagle Actually a lot of people around the world care. I care and I’m from Canada.
Pink cupcake90 don’t blame eagle man it’s hard to really see hope when all you seen is hate in this world
The girl and the police officer holding hands and praying is the most powerful thing I've seen.
This is beautiful. Finally the police are protecting us
(Hopefully)
For even in the darkest dept of the swirling void, there lies a spark ever so small, For our hope is able to see there's light despite all the darkness. Exploding into a blinding light as our triumph.
My god please bring unity and peace in America. We stand by Americans.from south africa
Who would have ever thought that a little kneel could make MILLIONS of people happy? I thank god for the courage and the love of those police officers !!! these are my HEROS
The soul needs more videos like this right now.
Real hero's real men
Why are they heroes for this? This is lip service, nothing more.
@@arcajeth626 Irony - get it?
If America is going to be great we need more cops like them.
Well, I am glad this channel showing boths side. The good and the bad.
I accidentally disliked! I’m glad I noticed! I feel as if I have to apoligise
PROPAGANDA , PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE LITERALLY SAID THE COPS STARTED SHOOTING THEM AFTER ALL THIS
That’s how I felt when he yelled for his mom. It broke my heart ♥️.
Thank you.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The cops knew the best way to keep crowd control was to join them.
We need to cherish moments of humanity like this. SHARE this video. We need to all work together on this. It's the only way.
These police officers are just amazing! they could have lost their jobs for this! They are truly amazing
this made me cry. i think showing images of solidarity between cops and citizens is way more powerful than cops against citizen. it shows that not all are like that and that many are serving with integrity
*This is leadership! Thanks to all of these officers in this video.* I personally would like to see this sort of empathy and kindness (and leadership) come from the White House however I just can't see that happening with the current President and his administration.

Now this, is better media coverage than I've been seeing. Very nice.
To me one of the most poetic moments , Is the guy , in full gear , Gas mask , Vest , Nvg , Praying with the young women , Powerfull.
It is very moving watching police join the protest. This is what our country needs, to be heard, acknowledged, respected and treated as equals.
To all you police officers out there, please please I BEG you, join the protests, you'll achieve more this way.
In the future, People and the police must respect and follow the rules if not put them in a jail.
i got GOOSEBUMPS listening to that one cops speech
I almost cried seeing the tac response team officer holding the hands of that young woman
It began as a unheard cry for justice, it began as a voice seeking change, change happens in a moment, when the first cop took a knee, the change begain, all it needs now to grow is to be fed and wattered.
This is what needs to be shown on the mainstream news. Hate fuels hate. This isn’t hate. This is LOVE. The news media (all news, no matter the affiliation) thrives off of fear and violence. We need the positive stories. The light will always cancel out the darkness. Praying for peace and safety.
Finally some police officers who actually understand.
Peace from Europe.
That's sooo emotional brought tears in my eyes God blessed u people's
Until they realise nobody's life really matters to the government. Black, white, pink or orange nothing matters. We are all just a number and a sheep to governments. This shouldn't have been made a racial thing. Sad
Well, I hope more police agencies will learn from this, as well as the military, and also stand against Donald Trumpet's regime.
May God comfort you dear people of America .its heart breaking watching you from afar, we are all children of God.🌹🦘
This is amazing, this gives hope. I have tears in my eyes.
It makes me happy when officers and police officials work with the people they serve and protect when injustice happens somewhere else
you don't knee yo those BAD GUYS THEY ARE NOT PROTESTERS THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS
That struck deep inside.
1. We want justice for Floyd by getting all 4 killer cops arrested and convicted.
2. People around the world want to be heard regarding police brutality against black people and against other minorities
3. We want a fundamental reform in the government system around the world so that this type of injustice cannot occur again.
4. We want the leaders of our nations to hear us and act. As Lincoln said, it's a govt for the people by the people. They need to support their citizens.
I had tears in my eyes when I saw those policemen kneeling.
I may not be black but i do have something in common with the black community... I am GODS CHILD and therefore i say black lives matter ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿♥️
Very nice to see but be careful some cops doing that stuff apparently teargassed/beat/arrested protesters after the media got their pics and went away :(
show proof, links... not just blunt accusations and random rumors cause its fake rumors that only cause even more damage...
Keep on reading that but I can't find the video... Can you add a link? (to be clear, I wouldn't be surprised... Just want the video so I can share it)
These officers exemplify. the compassion and leadership we wish all police officers had the courage and intelligence to
emote. There's no reason to be ENEMIES with the people of any color. It's heartening to see that there are some officers that take their vow to serve and protect seriously. It was very brave to kneel down before hundreds of angry protesters . unfortunately they are only a handful of true officers in a corrupt system
This is touching im in tears right now
This is what humans are about
Coming together as people
It’s clique but we’ve all heard it “love conquers all” and this is just backing that statement. As a white woman, know I hear you, I stand with you & I have your back. I don’t know what needs to be done for significant change, but I’ll fight to find the answers with you🤍🖤🤍🖤
I’d be better if the cops quit their jobs.
Right.Of course you would.
Without cops the country will fall into anarchy
Brought to tears by this I don't care who says what about my comment. In a time of chaos God brought peace maybe not everywhere but most. I was brought to tears cuz like many I prayed. I said Lord I don't know how but please bring peace. And these videos started to surface. My comment may be late but our prayers where not.
Pray for all of them🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Seeing that police officer came to tears made me cry 😭 , just seeing him have sympathy and seeing offices take knees is just emotional . Not all police are RASIST but they gotta to follow the commands they are given 😔😔😔. Most of them know that it's sad and I'm sure they too would want to protest . That's why they kneeled because if they didn't had a heart they wouldn't have kneeled . 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Is it normal that i wanna cry watching this ?
More of this please police!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🏴💖💖💖🏴💖
Officers work with us
Everyone liked that ...
2:00 I literally cried.....😭
this video gives me hope that there is still good in this world
Warms my heart to see police culture changing. Let’s hope the sentiments are sincere and the feelings turn into fruitful behaviour moving forward
It's hard to tell if they (police) are sincere.

As a veteran, I remain in shock every time I see how police act with such little professionalism and complete disregard for the safety of their own communities. It makes me wonder what sort of training they are given when dealing with the escalation of force and just command presence in general.
Love this video!
Of course the media won’t show this
This is proof that not all are bad. Corruption is all over rn. But these officers stood there ground and reminded that those who serve us are still here and willing to fight injustice with us. The fight is not over but remember that we still got allies in the justice system...
