We don’t need more of these people we need you to be like these people.

Now THIS is the kind of news I loved to watch!

“Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.” ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

😭😭. I'm just tired of the " bad apples" spoiling the bunch.

Now this is how you do it! We are stronger together. When we unite, -no one can bring us down. NO-ONE!

Now this is restored my faith in humanity. People coming together to help each other. Peacefully. And they are still getting their word out.

Oh my God, I’ve been surrounded by so much hate that simple acts of kindness give me so much feels..

Why can’t the rest of America be this way? 😔😔😔

"I know you guys are just doing your job. I'm not mad at you." That man is more well spoken and diplomatic than the American president (Trump).

Man 2020 was one wild year. It was like a movie or documentary that wouldn’t end. Just can’t believe it’s been 3 years. I think 2020 is the only year where I can remember every single thing that happened for the rest of my life. Every March I remember about the first lockdown. Every spring and summer I’m gonna be reminded of those events. I live in NYC and remember being isolated in my house with my family for months. I was literally on the internet throughout entire days because of that lockdown.

When both sides (cops and protesters) are respectful that makes the iconic look of democracy.

[LeosHouse]

That was beautiful! It’s truly a shame that they can’t all be this way.

I love these stories.. I want to thank all of the cops, military and state troopers that are in it for the right reasons. Trust your goodness and kindness doesn't go unseen. To the protesters thank you showing that not all people are the same. Thank you for showing you're humanity and strength in these times.

Wish we could see more news about this.

1:46 - TEA & CAKE. I love this man - I wish I could bring some treats over to his house and share good times with him and his fam! Bless him and his <3 <3

We need more news like this that makes us realize we’re all in this together, not try to tear us apart

[nathanmendoza]
