A five-year-old photograph depicting law enforcement agents kneeling at a protest in Washington, D.C., following the death of George Floyd has resulted in the termination of approximately 16 agents.
The image, which resurfaced recently, sparked significant controversy and led to an internal review within the agency. The decision to dismiss the agents was made in light of the agency's policies and the public's reaction to the photo.
This incident highlights ongoing discussions regarding law enforcement practices and accountability in the wake of social justice movements.
