If CNN is pouting about it, you know something good has just happened.
Recently, there has been some positive news in the headlines regarding FBI Director Kash Patel. It has surfaced that he has taken strict actions against multiple FBI agents who were photographed smiling and kneeling in front of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protestors during the 2020 George Floyd riots.

These agents not only displayed questionable behavior but also neglected their duty to safeguard federal buildings and monuments in Washington, DC on June 4, 2020 from the violent BLM protestors causing chaos in the streets. Unlike peaceful demonstrators, these individuals had a track record of destructive activities, raising concerns about potential harm to federal properties.
Although the specific intentions of the agents in the viral photo are not entirely clear, additional images from that event indicate that the majority, predominantly women, were grinning while kneeling before the crowd. Despite explanations suggesting that the agents lacked training in managing such situations and knelt for self-protection, the visuals strongly suggest that the act was a deliberate display of support for the Marxist ideals of the BLM movement.
