“I was supposed to be out of town this weekend with my wife,” O’Neal explained. “I took off today, this weekend, but I’m out here to make sure y’all are safe. … I have much respect, but I only kneel for one person: God, God, God.”
The exchange is spreading all over social media, though it’s not clear when exactly the encounter with the state trooper took place.
Politicians, athletes, and law enforcement officers have been recorded kneeling with protesters across the country following the death of George Floyd, a black man killed by disgraced Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who held his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly 10 minutes, until he died. Chauvin has since been charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter.
