Cops everywhere are facing scrutiny more than ever as they try their best to handle everything going on right now. Stories of police brutality have flooded my timeline and it makes you wonder if there is any good left in humanity.Thankfully there are still good cops out there who are not willing to resort to violence. A scene in West Hollywood is proof that cops and citizens can find some common ground.

An LAPD police officer put himself right in the middle of a demonstration on the Sunset Strip with hundreds of demonstrators surrounding him. Instead of using a weapon or teargas, he used his bullhorn to speak to the crown. When someone in the crowd took a knee, the cop followed suit.

The simple action was met with a roar of approval and the officer used to opportunity to say he and the crowd were one and the same. He then asked the crowd to return to their homes so everyone would be safe, he even assured them that police would not interfere with their exit.

The same thing later happened a few miles inland when the Sheriff of Riverside County also took a knee.

These are just small changes but it is clear that one person can make a difference. Let this be an example to police officers and citizens everywhere. We should come together as a nation to find a peaceful solution. There is no reason why any more people have to get hurt or killed in the name of justice.
