A Manhattan NYPD lieutenant sent an email to his fellow officers apologizing for kneeling alongside George Floyd protesters late last month — telling them that “the cop in me wants to kick my own ass.”
In a June 3 email obtained by The Post Thursday, Lt. Robert Cattani of the Midtown South Precinct said he regrets his “horrible decision to give into a crowd of protesters’ demands” and kneel at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan, with several other cops.
“The conditions prior to the decision to take a knee were very difficult as we were put center stage with the entire crowd chanting,” Cattani wrote. “I know I made the wrong decision. We didn’t know how the protesters would have reacted if we didn’t and were attempting to reduce any extra violence.”

Never give in to the left.
He’ll be fired by the end of the day.
Give them an inch and they become a ruler.
He had no gonads at that kneeling, maybe he does now that his haters are not asking him to prostitute himself.
Oh my...
>> telling them that “the cop in me wants to kick my own ass.”
A lapse of integrity would have been a better way to describe his foolishness.
“the cop in me wants to kick my own ass.”
Not a good comment.
He needs to be quiet and keep standing.
Cue the Donald Sutherland meme.
Let me get this straight—he is apologizing for apologizing?
Good.
No one likes an apologist.
Either you were wrong then - right now.
Or you were right then - wrong now.
Either way - you were/are wrong.
Unprincipled people suck.
Anybody that feels forced to kneel to anarchists and does it is a cuck.
At least he now understands how bad it looked.
But what was done cannot be undone.
He is on record as an officer showing surrender to the criminals.
Kill yourself. Otherwise your apology is hollow.
The blowback must be pretty fierce
At least enough to send this snowflake to “apology”
Andrew Villanueva apologized for not apologizing.
Drew Brees apologized for exercising his 1A rights.
This SOB is very weakly trying to have it both ways and satisfy everyone for his own poor decision(s).
Wnder what his service record looks like.
He has shown cowardice in public.
He needs to resign.
I hear the Seattle and Portland police departments have openings.
