3.2 Billion People Saw This: Sheriff Chris Swanson on Protests & Policing

n the heat of the 2020 protests, most of America saw cities burning on the news.

In Genesee County, Michigan, something completely different happened. 👀

Sheriff Chris Swanson did the unthinkable: he put down his baton, took off his helmet, and told protestors, “I want to walk with you.”

👉 40 protests.
👉 All summer long.
👉 Zero people injured.
👉 Zero people arrested.
👉 A moment that reached 3.2 BILLION people around the world.

In this powerful teaser from The MiddleGround Mic, Sheriff Swanson reflects on:

What really happened that day in 2020

How a community angry at “white policing” still chose to walk with him

Why no one was hurt and no one was arrested at any protest

How that viral moment changed his life and his view of leadership

What “peaceful unity” actually looks like when everyone is on edge

This isn’t a clip about right vs left.
It’s about leadership, courage, and walking with people instead of against them.
