ShowsSheriff Chris Swanson
Genesee County, Michigan August 19, 2020 With both Flint and Detroit leading the way in keeping the protests peaceful it seemed logical to have a conversation with the people leading that effort. Our conversation with Detroit Chief James Craig led that effort off, and we pick up the story with Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson. In a story that made headlines world wide, Swanson met protesters on Miller Road in Flint Township and helped head off a potentially volatile situation by leading his officers to lay down their clubs and helmets and join the protesters in a peaceful march. His words "Let's walk" became a rallying cry for a community. His story is matched by his storytelling skills, and it's one of the most emotional we've heard. You won't want to miss this tale of a very historic moment in Flint and Genesee County history.
