Black officer and white police chief powerful 'Lives Matter' photo goes viral
With an intention to change the narrative of the 'Black Lives Matter movement', two Texas police officers respond with their own message: "His Life Matters."
The Trinity Police Department shared a powerful photo of Chief Steven Jones and Officer Donald Givens, who are two different races, with "His Life Matters" written on the palm of their hands, each with an arrow pointed to the other.
"There's a lot of hate going on right now -- there's a lot of hate going on in our nation," Givens told CBS News. "We're tired of all the hate."
It doesn't matter what race you are, Givens continued, "all lives matter."
The photo was shared on Twitter by the department in May and has been retweeted more than 500 times. But it wasn't until this week that the photo really started spreading.

Other police departments also decided to send a similar message.
On Tuesday, the Cincinnati Police Department shared a similar photo of two police officers with the same "His Life Matters" message. The photo was shared by more than 4,300 people.
