"They protected my police when some agitator came in trying to hurt everybody," Morris said. "They turned around and helped my officers, and you know what that means to me? That means the character here is top shelf and, you know what, we're going to fix this."
Protests are expected to continue in West Palm Beach as demonstrators demand for their voices to be heard.
