Good day all. There has been a lot happening over the last few weeks, some of which has slipped under the radar. One of these was FBI Director Kash Patel firing a number of agents who were photographed “Taking a knee” in support of George Floyd.
I won’t bother going over the Floyd mess. Police officers were wrongfully convicted on falsified evidence claiming that one of the officers kneed George Floyd in the throat causing him to suffocate. We now know that he had three times the lethal amount of fentanyl in his system and was doomed no matter what.
What happened next led to the “Summer of Fiery Love” and the beginning of the Democrats use of all out violence to “Get Trump!” Another thing that happened was that Floyd was made a martyr for the Democrats. We saw people like San Fan Nan Pelosi and other Democrats “Take a knee” in support of Floyd. (Funny how they always support criminals, isn’t it?) Another group that “Took a knee” was a number of FBI agents. Last week, Director Patel terminated them from Federal Employment. Here are the details from Fox News:
The FBI has fired nearly two dozen agents who were photographed kneeling amid the George Floyd protests in 2020, according to reports.
An estimated 20 agents have been dismissed, according to The Associated Press, which reported that many of those terminated had already been reassigned to lower-profile duties in the years since. Reuters framed the number of fired agents as “more than a dozen.”
I saw that picture at the time and was wondering why these agents weren’t suspended from duty that day. Then I recalled who was the director of the FBI at the time. It was Christopher Wray, so of course nothing would be done.
The photographs at issue reportedly showed a group of agents taking a knee during one of the demonstrations in Washington, D.C., after the May 2020 killing of Floyd in Minneapolis.
Correction, George Floyd was not “Killed,” he died of a drug overdose. That fact was covered up by the medical examiner at the time and the officers on site were railroaded into prison for a crime that flat out didn’t happen by one of the more corrupt Soro’s state AG’s.
Kneeling was widely used by protesters and supporters after Floyd’s death to signal sympathy with the Black Lives Matter movement and a call for racial justice.
They used it as an excuse to riot, loot, burn and murder, not to protest. Now this Fox story was primarily written by propagandists with the Associated with terrorists Press and Reuters. As you read through it, you can see their disapproval of the terminations and their writing of this story.
The FBI Agents Association condemned the firings as “unlawful,” warning they violated civil service protections.
“This is a dangerous precedent,” the group said, arguing the bureau punished employees for a split-second de-escalation decision in a volatile moment.
This was not a de-escalation, it was a posed event. You can take one look at the photograph and see that there was nothing going on.
Critics inside and outside the bureau say the firings reflect a purge under FBI Director Kash Patel, who took over during President Donald Trump’s second term and vowed to overhaul the bureau’s culture.
Considering the actions and activities of the FBI over the last generation, they should count their blessings that they all still have jobs. More then half the country wants the FBI formally disbanded and almost all of the personnel fired. It was coming to the point where the possibility of at least one full on gun battle between citizens and the FBI could have happened. If such an even had occurred, there was no guarantee that the FBI would have won and not been wiped out to the last agent.
The Washington Post reported that Patel’s allies have framed the kneeling incident as evidence of political bias in the ranks.
Agents involved in the kneeling said they were caught between orders to avoid confrontation and the reality of facing angry crowds, sources told Reuters.
“This wasn’t politics — it was survival,” one former agent told Reuters.
I repeat the question. What angry crowds? If there was a crowd there, why weren’t they photographed as well? That might have been exculpatory evidence. The simple fact is, these WOKE DEI hires forgot, if they ever knew, what their job was. What it wasn’t was kowtowing to a mob. This is just the next step in cleaning out the FBI. To be perfectly frank, I expect a lot more to be shown the door.

Also, Floyd was in the back seat of the police car crying “I can’t breathe” repeatedly, long before they got him on the ground. I saw video of this which later seemed to disappear. I hope Trump lets the policeman out of prison.
Unfortunately, there is nothing that President can do for the wrongly convicted officers. Those were state, not federal charges. Maybe the DoJ can do something, but I can’t see what.
The fact that George Floyd was lethally intoxicated is not nearly as important as the fact that the procedure implemented by the police officer was part of his police training and was POLICY in Minneapolis. Would the other police officers present have stood by and watched a fellow officer, in front of scores of people, use his knee to suffocate a man on the ground? No, because they knew it was not obstructing his airway and that it was part of their training. This aspect of the case rarely gets talked about.
