An unlikely demonstrator joined residents Tuesday in Richmond, California, as they protested police violence in wake of the deaths of Eric Garner in New York and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
Chris Magnus, the city's police chief, held a #BlackLivesMatter sign and stood alongside protesters.
"I spoke with my command staff, and we agreed it would be nice to convey our commitment to peaceful protest and that black and brown lives do matter – and to help bridge the gap that we understand sometimes exists between police and community around certain issues," Magnus told Bay Area News Group.
"I've never seen anything like it, not in Richmond, not anywhere," said resident Mary Square. "All these police, and the police chief, holding signs calling for an end to police violence. ... I'm going to tell my kids."
