Powerful moment as Washington County, Tennessee deputy and protester hug each other

“I could see the frustration, and I felt God speak to me and tell me that I needed to go talk to him," said Cate.

That man, was Mark Karluah, who had gone to Johnson City to peacefully protest.

“The moment he came up to me….that meant leaps and bounds to me, that meant the world to me," said Karluah. "That he would see me in the middle of the crowd and say, 'Sir I see you and see what you're fighting for.'"

Shortly after, photos were taken of David and Mark hugging each other. It is a moment both men say they will remember forever.
