Amid So Much Hate, There’s Love Too
Amid so much hate, there's love too.
The protests around the world that began after the death of George Floyd while in police custody, have sparked chaos, riots and looting. But it's sparked peace, love and more importantly, conversation as well.
Police have been seen marching, kneeling and even praying with protesters.
Utica Police even joined the march on Sunday, holding a sign while walking among the protesters.
Rome Police supported the peaceful protests, holding up signs while holding hands.
One protester even brought a case of water to a line of police officers in riot gear.
In North Carolina, Ken Nwadike Jr. gives hugs as part of his Free Hugs Project, an initiative that promotes peace, inspires change and raises awareness of social issues.
Instead of spreading hate and violence, let's focus on the love and kindness being shared among strangers and starting spreading change.
