The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling at a protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, three people familiar with the matter said Friday.
How can anyone support such petty, hateful, people? I just don’t get it.
Just a single sliver of indirectly-related memory-paraphrased context which may hopefully be helpful:
I worked for the U.S. government from 2010-2018. In my new-hire handbook, government employees and contractors were directed to not portray a political alignment while working in an official capacity (say, while wearing a uniform or other identifying clothing, while using a government vehicle, etc) regardless of political party. We were allowed normal civilian rights if presenting as a civilian. Some form of administrative action was mentioned if this rule was broken, presumably up to and including termination of employment.

Which of their actions do you think portrays a political alignment?
