Patel Fires FBI Agents Who Knelt During BLM/Antifa Riots of 2020

Or the "racial justice" riots protests, as USA Today puts it...

I prefer The Mostly Peaceful Social Justice Riots For Peace And Justice...

The agents shouldn't have kneeled.

But I don't think they should be fired, especially five years after the fact.

But, then, I don't know what the conventions of law enforcement are like, nor of the FBI specifically.

If it was, in fact, a "de-escalation strategy" rather than a political statement, that also seems to matter.

Look, it was a crazy time, and a lot of people went crazy.

Maybe offer a little grace here.
