top comment says everything:

Take a knee on someones neck: cops do nothing
Take a knee in protest: literally pulled off the ground

I wonder if it being on video protects him from being fired. Or if they just don't care

Don't cops usually harass other cops that do things like this or snitch or whatever? If he doesn't get fired he's probably gonna get bullied and harassed until he quits unfortunately

@Patchwork

I wrote you off initially but reading thru that Vegas topic I believe you have a good heart, even if I think you're wasted on the police force. Sorry for dismissing you. I'd like to know what you'd do in this situation

Let's not let that happen. We need to stand with him. I know many minorites in the NYPD.

This needs to spread. That's one of the indicators of change. He needs to be promoted.

If that happened, they'd raise their stupidity to a whole new level. I'm not saying it's off the table tho. I don't believe anything is off the table anymore

Because they're brainwashed and indoctrinated into an Us vs Them mentality instead of a Us For Them mentality. And if you're not part of Us and support Us then you're one of Them and therefore you're the enemy.

Its literally:

Also, Its one of the biggest differences between the police force and the military, in theory at least.

asking cops to take a knee is performative, photo-op bullshit

they take a knee for the cameras and then throw tear gas an hour later

Because they have (weak) justifications to look down on the protestors. And some literally view themselves as saviors to the masses. Some get off on the power trip and don't really care. The more protests the more they can exert their small dick power they have.

Its also why always being angry and full of hate is bad, it leads to situations like this(this applies to both side but especially for police).

Do you watch videos before you post? There was nothing strategic about that video

It will happen, but theyll say he was killed in a gang shooting and will plant drugs at the scene of the crime so he looks dirty.

yep, it's one of the biggest reasons so much shit doesn't get reported. the higher-ups will handwave everything, and they'll find out who snitched and make his life on the force a nightmare, like schoolyard bullies.

Or not respond when he radios for backup in a dangerous situation.

If my brother feels strongly enough that he wants to take a knee, Id kneel with him.

The only justification for not letting him kneel would be if you were actually facing violent rioters and not peaceful protestors. And Im sure hed have the tactical awareness to NOT kneel at that point.

The talk about him getting killed by his own is extreme; hell have a few loud conversations Im sure, but Id back him every step of the way.

It seems like taking a knee is the wrong thing to do since ya know Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd's neck.
