The FBI has let go nearly two dozen agents who took a knee during the 2020 George Floyd protests, with many having been reassigned since. The photos show agents kneeling amid demonstrations in Washington, D.C., following Floyd’s death in Minneapolis. Critics say this reflects a purge under FBI Director Kash Patel, who framed the incident as evidence of political bias in his ranks. Agents involved said they were caught between orders and reality of facing angry crowds, describing it as “survival.” The firings come amid a broader personnel shake-up at the bureau as Patel reshapes the agency.
