\n An Oklahoma detention officer turned in his badge after he was told he couldn\u2019t take a knee with George Floyd protesters \u2014 then returned to join the demonstrators.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s my badge and I won\u2019t come back,\u201d the officer said he told supervisors, according to a video aired Tuesday by KOCO-TV. \u201cY\u2019all told me I couldn\u2019t take a knee. So today, I\u2019m gonna take a knee.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man, who asked that his face not be shown in the footage, was working at an Oklahoma City jail on Saturday when protesters moved in on the facility, the outlet said.<\/p>\n

The crowd moved in quickly and torched a sheriff\u2019s van outside the jail. Officials said they were attempting to breach the building.<\/p>\n

County sheriff\u2019s deputies, finding themselves outnumbered, deputized corrections officers to help hold the demonstrators at bay until reinforcements could arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had jailers and detention officers here and it was really all hands on deck,\u201d said Mark Meyers, a spokesman for the Oklahoma County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis individual was a detention officer and if our detention officers decided they want to walk outside and leave the inmates to themselves, that makes no sense,\u201d Meyers said. \u201cTake the day off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, the ex-officer shed his uniform and came back to join the demonstrators.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
