FBI reassigns agents involved in kneeling PR stunt for George Floyd protests

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reportedly reassigned agents who were mocked by critics as “Kneel Team Six” during the contentious protests after the death of George Floyd.

A photograph of about a dozen FBI agents joining the kneeling protest against racial discrimination angered many who believed it was inappropriate for law enforcement officials to endorse the Black Lives Matter movement. The image shows the mostly female agents among a number of demonstrators.

‘The FBI is supposed to be the top legal arm in this country, and here they are in the midst of the country burning down, in front of everybody’s eyes, kneeling in solidarity with the rioters.’

Five years after the photo surfaced in 2020, the agents have been reassigned, according to a CNN report.

The reassignments are viewed as a demotion by others in the bureau.

The FBI declined to comment and cited a policy against discussing personnel matters, and the agents did not respond to requests from CNN for a comment.

A former FBI official told CNN that the disciplinary action shows that the Trump administration is ignoring standard procedures in order to punish workers out of political motivation.

“This notion that the bureau would go after these people, it’s just disgusting,” the former official said.

In October, a report from the Heritage Oversight Project found evidence suggesting that the FBI had downplayed their support for the kneeling agents and tried to characterize the incident as an attempt at de-escalation.

The report found that the agents were rewarded with “gift cards, rewards, promotions, all praise from the tippity-top of the brass,” according to Mike Howell, executive director of the Oversight Project.

“Think about how outrageous that is. The FBI is supposed to be the top legal arm in this country, and here they are in the midst of the country burning down, in front of everybody’s eyes, kneeling in solidarity with the rioters,” said Howell.
