Amid widespread anger over police brutality, some cops win hearts in US

The United States, which has already seen the worst of coronavirus crisis and still struggling to contain the deaths and infections, is now seeing widespread violence following the death of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis.

And in such a tense situation, where on one hand, incidents of police brutality are reported, there are also stories where the cops are leading by an example to let protesters continue peaceful demonstrations and helping them too.

A similar video was also shared in which New Jersey police were seen walking with the protesters.

 Another video is gaining a lot of attention where policemen were seen kneeling down on the ground and shaking hands with people in Oakland, California.

However, several reports also claimed of police's high-handed actions, most recently of the two NYPD cars ramming into a crowd of protesters in Brooklyn. 

In Atlanta, policemen implementing a curfew stopped two college students driving a car, shot Tasers at them,and dragged them out of their vehicle, the New York Times reported. 

The protests erupted in Minneapolis and then spread across the country after a video surfaced last Monday that showed a black man George Floyd pleading as a police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes following which Floyd was killed.
