URGENT: Fired FBI Agents Sue Over Racial Justice Protest Retaliation

Breaking News: Fired FBI Agents Sue Over Racial Justice Protest Retaliation Twelve former FBI agents, with nearly 200 years of combined experience, have filed a lawsuit against the Bureau and its director, alleging unlawful retaliation for taking a knee during racial justice protests in Washington, D.C. in June 2020. The agents, who were fired this year, claim they were not provided with proper training or equipment to handle volatile crowds, despite being elite federal law enforcement officers. They received awards for their work on mass shootings, foreign spy exposure, and cyber attacks prevention. The lawsuit comes after the agents were fired for participating in the protests, which were held in response to the death of George Floyd. The agents were seen taking a knee alongside demonstrators, a gesture of solidarity and support. The former agents are seeking reinstatement and damages for what they claim is a clear case of retaliation. This lawsuit has significant implications for the FBI's handling of protests and its treatment of agents who participate in them. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
