An N.Y.P.D. lieutenant apologized to fellow officers caving to pressure and kneeling in solidarity with George Floyd protesters in Manhattan.
In a June 1 email to colleagues, Lt. Robert Cattani said he feels like he made a horrible decision to give into a crowd of protesters demands.
Cattani and at least three other police officers conceded to a group of Black Lives Matter protesters on May 31 who chanted NYPD, take a knee.
The kneeling trend was started by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016, who knelt during the national anthem as a sign of protest against racial injustice and police brutality.
In the email, Cattani said he took the knee in order to appease the protesters but admitted he made the wrong decision.

One word:
RESIGN.
“You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.” - Winston Churchill.
Too bad he isnt Japanese. Seppuku would be a proper way for him to truly express his dishonor.
No one will ever have your back.
A coward dies a thousand deaths.
Some actions you cannot take back.
Since the rioters are deciding what statues to destroy and which buildings to burn I think pro-lifers should draw grafitti and destroy and burn PP offices and destroy Margaret Sanger statues.
I watch all the whites having guilt and feeling white priveledge BUT if they REALLY meant it they should give away their housing and give away their spot in colleges. Easy to stand around and tell others how they should show how much they support but when it comes down to it they don’t really mean it, If they did mean it they would give away their comfort so others can have them.
Why would you have ever thought that was a good idea?
A man of honor would not have knelt.
A man of honor would resign.
He has learned nothing.
The cops at all levels throughout this country have operated with dishonor. They violated their oaths of office to uphold the constitutions and lawful orders, to protect the people and their property.
Cops are just lazy government welfare employees who only get in our way.
There’s that obnoxious knotted gun statue by the UN HQ and out west in Auntie Faa land there’s a statue of Lenin or Stalin that desperately needs to be melted into something useful.
Never surrender your dignity.
He’s been listening and hopping lickety-split to The Voice From The Ether that PC is and now he’s had his thanks...
He chose poorly. Mall security probably won’t hold it against him, however.
If the guilt ridden whites really feel that blacks have been so oppressed they should give everything they own to them. Start by being the example. Easy to march and tell others how they should feel and act. Be the first to set an example. Give away your spot in college. Give away your homes and money. Give it all away then I will believe you really mean it. Up til now you have just told me what I have to do and how to feel.
He’s an idiot, and this is a time for the idiots to get out of the way.
You did it now the blowback hurts. Nasty break kneeboy.
