WASHINGTON : The FBI has fired a group of its agents photographed kneeling on the street in an attempt to de-escalate tensions during a racial justice protest in Washington in 2020 in the aftermath of George Floyd 's killing by police in Minneapolis, three people familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The terminations came amid a spate of dismissals within the ranks of the nation's most prominent law enforcement agency since Kash Patel, a Trump loyalist, was confirmed by the Republican-controlled US Senate in Feb to lead the FBI. It was not clear precisely how many FBI agents were terminated on Friday.
