Things are tense out there. I get it. But even in the middle of so much turmoil, a little bit of awesome can shine through. Here are some examples.

This was quite a moment. Protest has been peaceful and several legislators (all Dem) have addressed the protesters. @brotherjones_ asked the National Guard to drop their shields, and they did. pic.twitter.com/GaLfU9bzRD

As a show of understanding the pain that is in our community and our nation regarding equality, the #FayPD took a knee to show that we also stand for justice for everyone. We are committed to listening and treating everyone with dignity and respect.#LoveONE pic.twitter.com/X5KAQohN6g

I’d plaster this powerful photo across every front page: Police officer got separated from his unit in Louisville, KY… and several black men formed a human barrier to protect him. #protests2020 #honorgeorgefloyd pic.twitter.com/X1Re8gG3JC

My 6yr old daughter, she sees whats on the news, we explained what happened to George Floyd and she was mortified. Today she made a sign and is doing her own peaceful protest in our front yard. I am so proud!

#ShreveportProtest Confederate statue supporters were also at the protest.
After speaking with them, this protester & a SHREVEPORT officer had an emotional connection with everything happening in America.
