"We do not condone police brutality. It's unacceptable. We're in this together. This is not them and us. It's all of us," said Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson. 

One protester praised the peaceful group and said violence erupting at other demonstrations around the country is disheartening. 

"That's not the way. That's not what George Floyd would want from us. That's not what our community would want from us," the protester said. 

The group plans to meet again at 11 a.m. to march on Tuesday, June 2.
