What about the stuff around George Floyd. Weren't people accosted and forced to kneel down and repent?

Etc.

Maybe some of them knelt voluntarily. But what would have happened if they hadn't. To me at the time there seemed to be a lot of social pressure to "kneel" and accept the narrative and the will of the mob.
