Did the Marines and other active duty members of the military who took a knee in DC or even laid down at the protestors' request, get punished by their administration?

I was appalled to see a kneeling white marine in full dress uniform have a piece of black tape across his mouth saying "I can't breathe", apparently in Washington DC. I was equally appalled at the sight of the police officer laying prone on the ground before his protester masters, and a whole group of police (mostly white) kneeling at some demonstration. Have any of these kowtowing idiots been disciplined for their actions?

This is paganism. Praying to a living human is a mental disorder

I’d have to examine the situation through an iron sight before passing judgement on the POS...

Oh my God. Please tell me this didn’t happen! Very disappointing.

The guy pisses us all off, but what are you going to do? The media will make a big deal out of him but nothing out of the thousands going to do actual service for this country

The lights are going out in the shining city on the hill, the enemy is everywhere inside the perimeter, and vandals are running rampant. Is it too late to save her?

This kind of gutless obsequiousness just whips the blood-seeking piranhas into a mindless frenzy.

Does the word “ransack” bring anything to mind?

Thanks for the link. This is from a blog. I think the retired Lance Corporal is related to John Kerry.

Nah. This is the usual communist activity. The citizens and patriots will not allow it to continue

Remember the last time they agitated for a civil war those who started lost....badly

Guy’s a loon. Medically retired probably.

He’s a retired Marine.
He suffers from chronic fatique.
He was in 100 degree heat for three hours holding that position.
His shoes began to melt under the heat.

The fact that he is retired (although he looks very young)
means being ‘out of uniform’ is no longer a concern of his.
That’s what first got my attention.
IMO, this man still has problems to unravel.
Standing in the hot sun in your dress uniform seems like a physically unwise thing to do for anybody.
Heat strokes do happen.

Correct. I’d be asking how he was medically retired, and if he’s got his wits still, or emotionally unbalanced.

Candace Owens tweeted the directors of Black Lives Matter - surprise they’re all white. And she also showed that any donation to BLM goes directly to the rat party.

What a bunch of fools - laying on the ground for this charade.

I think this police chief has some issues that have nothing to do with race. Notice how the mask looks an awful lot like a gag? He’s probably too cheap to pay a dominatrix to help him satisfy his humiliation kink. I get the feeling that people on both sides are getting their jollies with these public displays of kneeling and submission.
