“I was supposed to be out of town this weekend with my wife,” the trooper, identified by dailycaller.com/2020/06/07/oneal-saddler-georgia- state-trooper-kneel-black-lives-matter-protest/">The Daily Caller as O’Neal Saddler, told the protester.

“I have much respect, but I only kneel for one person, and that’s God.”

He was asked to kneel today, and this was his response.
The video was reportedly shot in Hartwell, Georgia, about 90 miles southwest of Atlanta.
