With tensions reaching a boiling part in some parts of the country in recent months, one Alabamian is starting a movement to show support for police and to help “break down barriers” between law enforcement officials and the people in their communities.

Chason Smitherman, a Montgomery resident and founder of Grow 334, produced the video above to gain momentum for what he’s calling “High Five Friday.”

In short, he’s calling on people in Alabama and across the country to go out of their way on Fridays to show support for our men and women in blue by giving them a high five.

“Hopefully this will go worldwide,” Smitherman told Yellowhammer.

If it does, it wouldn’t be his first video to do so.

Earlier this year, in an effort to show the “real Alabama,” Smitherman filmed a blindfolded man standing outside of Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium with a sign that said, “You do not have to fear me! I count … U count …. We count! I trust u, do u trust me? Let’s hug.”

Before long, Alabamians of all sizes, sexes, colors, ages and backgrounds were hugging the man.

The video has been viewed almost 30 million times across multiple social media platforms and pages.
