Capitol Police officers took a knee on Wednesday, to the cheers of demonstrators protesting police brutality on Capitol Hill following the death of George Floyd.
Protests have swept across the country for nearly eight straight days, and particularly in the Washington, D.C., region.
President Trump has promised to "clamp down" on protesters in D.C. and urged local officials to instruct law enforcement to "dominate."

Well there goes that protection. You call they won’t come.
Police cannot be counted on. Why are we paying taxes?
I guess they can set a car on fire in celebration. Hell, the cops will give them the matches.
they should be fired
Well, it worked wonders in New York City when the cops did it there (rolling eyes)
I never thought that I would ever see such complete and total insanity. Gutless. Servile. Tremble-chin.
As terrible as this whole George Floyd tragedy is, from the Bureau of Justice Statistics we see in 2018 there were 549K black on white violent crimes in the USA and 59K white on black violent crimes.
This is almost a 10 to 1 ratio of more black on white violent crimes than white on black violent crimes. IT IS ALL BAD.
Placing our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, sharing His love and Gospel to others, and seeing people as Almighty God sees them made in His image and likeness - this is what is needed in our country.
An excellent book on this subject is, “The Third Option” by Myles McPherson.
Please stop with the facts, people are going to be so confused.
I kneel before God, my Father, His Son and my Brother, Jesus, and to accept the blessing and guidance of the Holy Spirit. That’s it. It makes my life very simple when this kind of garbage comes along.
Adjust for population size. It’s more like 32 to one. Off the charts violence. Savagery actually.
BLM is not just a lie. It is the polar opposite of the truth.
Our nation has lost it’s freaking mind.
Are these the same Capitol Police who accompanied a bus-load of thugs, a few years ago, to terrorize the young, home-alone son of a bank executive?
Yeah, those Capitol Police.
Who’s paying them, again?
How kaepernick of them
Didn’t the whole “take a knee” thing come about as a way to avoid saluting the American flag and national anthem?
So isn’t that what all of these cops are advocating when they do this?
Capitulation to the Mob
By what right do they wear a uniform, carry a gun and collect a taxpayer paycheck?
They work for the other side now.
Odd how the badge-heavy Thin Blue Line types have vanished from this board...
I kneel to no man.
I thought the official policy of the US government was to not negotiate with terrorists.
Why would any victim, real or perceived, expect an innocent person to kneel to them? What the hell?
This is paving the way for reparations IMO. How does one person kneeling and agreeing that Black Lives Matter change the life of a black person for the better? It doesn’t. It just sets the stage for what’s to come.
