Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is well-versed in the art of making bold, evocative statements about the realities of inequality in the United States.
His latest statement — a new documentary he’s executive produced for Hulu — takes aim at a familiar target: state-sanctioned violence police and corruption. The project is set in Bakersfield, California, and includes another high-profile foe: new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. “Killing County,” set to debut Feb. 3, highlights the 2013 police shooting of Jorge Ramirez, Jr. in Bakersfield, which is part of McCarthy’s district. Ramirez was shot and killed by Bakersfield police.
