FBI agents who knelt in George Floyd Protest suffer from worrying destiny: report
Washington – The FBI has reassigned several agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington that followed the death of George Floyd in 2020 at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, two people familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
The reasons for the movements were not clear immediately, although they occur when the FBI under the director Kash Patel has made broad change of personnel and when the deputy director Dan Bongino has repeatedly tried to reassure the supporters of President Donald Trump, who criticize the office that his complaints are being taken seriously.
“The director and I are working on a series of important initiatives to ensure that past errors are never repeated, and that many of his open questions are answered,” Bongino wrote in a recent publication about X, previously known as Twitter. He did not specify what mistakes or questions he referred to.
The reallocations, first reported by CNN, were confirmed to The News by two people familiar with the matter they insisted on anonymity to discuss non -public personnel movements. An FBI spokesman declined to comment.
The photographs in question showed that a group of agents knelt during one of the demonstrations after the murder of Floyd of May 2020, a death that caused a generalized anger after millions of people saw a video of their arrest and led to a national calculation by the police and racial injustice.

The kneeling enraged some in the FBI, but it was also understood as a possible tactic of decalcage during a period of generalized protests, and the agents were not punished at that time.

Patel promised his January confirmation hearing that he would not “go back” in the search for compensation against the perceived adversaries of the Trump administration. But even before he swore, he was worried that the Department of Justice was ready to do exactly that, even demanding a list of thousands of agents who worked in investigations on January 6, 2021, disturbances in the Capitol of the United States, a request seen by some as a possible precursor of a purge in the office.
