FBI fires agents photographed kneeling during 2020 racial justice protest, AP sources say

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, three people familiar with the matter said Friday.

The bureau last spring had reassigned the agents but has since fired them, said the people, who insisted on anonymity to discuss personnel matters with The Associated Press.

The number of FBI employees terminated was not immediately clear, but two people said it was roughly 20.


The photographs at issue showed a group of agents taking a knee in apparent solidarity during one of the demonstrations following the May 2020 killing of Floyd, a death that led to a national reckoning over policing and racial injustice and sparked widespread anger after millions of people saw video of the arrest.

@The Quartermaster

It has been a well publicized policy here for many years that the use of derogatory terms or names toward other members or public figures is a no-go. You personally have been warned about this and most recently chose to reply with sarcasm and defiance.

Governor Newscom gets told no, he cannot be a tyrant in charge of federals operating in California.

My reaction when first hearing about the governor's actions was, "Uh, Supremacy Clause, anyone?" I just don't see how we could think state law supersedes federal law.

I also think it's highly ironic given that California regularly flouts federal law in things like immigration (sanctuary cities).

As soon as I read the text about a state bill telling Federal agents how to do their jobs I knew it was virtue signaling by Newsom. The tragedy here is the state did something it had to, HAD TO know was illegal and did it anyway. There is no way that bill's legal status wasn't brought up before the vote. For CA to draft, nominate, vote, pass, and sign an illegal bill into law shows a level of stupidity impressive by modern standards. They had to know this was illegal and did it anyway.

If Republicans don't trot this out and make that point every single day then they are missing a golden opportunity and show how badly they are being led, if led at all.

The folks that will continue to vote for people cut from such cloth are PROUD to see their brave leaders standing up to the 'OrangeMan'
...no one is above the law and all that jazz

Thinking about all those BDE change of command/Division dog and pony shows I had to sit through as a joe....sitting there while some Col. or Gen. sat there and talked, and talked....Now, watching Trump drone on and on in front of all the military flag officers : )

Poetic justice.

If only they understand and appreciate the irony.

I do wish he'd produce a list of people, ask them to stand up when called, and then tell them they are fired. Make the who and why known to all.

They don't. For political officers, its just elbow rubbing, face time with the boss.

Or just arbitrarily call out seat numbers: "If you are in seats 9, 28, 33, 75, 111...you're fired."

I didn't see near all of it - or even most of it - just a few meme worthy lines from SECWAR. I can't help but "hope" that there is a "classified" version of that discussion going on right this moment that affords the SECWAR with the opportunity to put out the "real" content that warranted this dumpster fire.

Otherwise, I'm going to need an Imodium AD once the memes wear off


I have to ask, what would a Staff Sergeant or O3 have learned if they'd watched the entire event ??

That we're getting back to business. I honestly thought everything was well said. And him calling out the fat generals at the Pentagon was great.

How about..its refreshing to see a former junior-ish officer in a position to implement changes we all knew were necessary but couldn't do anything about it?

you get that tidbit from a meme too?

Let us know what you think after you've watched it.
