A Georgia state trooper on duty at a Black Lives Matter protest in Georgia has become a star on social media, thanks to an answer he gave a protestor who demanded he “take a knee” as a sign of respect for the BLM movement.

“I was supposed to be out of town this weekend with my wife,” the trooper, identified by The Daily Caller as O’Neal Saddler, told the protester.

“I took off today, this weekend, but I’m out here just to make sure y’all are safe. Don’t go there with respect, OK?

These comments didn’t satisfy the BLM protestor, so Trooper Saddler hit him with some real talk.

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