Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson alongside people in Flint, Michigan demonstrating against police violence and the kiling of George Floyd in neighboring Minnesota last week. “When we reached the police station, the officers were lined up and everyone immediately took a knee,” said local photographer Leni Kei Williams who documented what transpired. “The Sheriff asked one question… ‘We are mad too!
