and warned young black people were growing up scared of police forces due to decades of racial profiling.

Kaepernick has been a prominent figure of the Black Lives Matter movement, since he first protested against police brutality and racial discrimination by kneeling during the national anthem ahead of NFL games in 2016. His decision to kneel transformed him into a global icon, but split public opinion in the U.S. and contributed to him being ostracized by the league.

The former Nevada alumnus has not played football since becoming a free agent at the end of the 2016 season and last year reached a settlement with the NFL, after filing a lawsuit accusing the 32 franchise owners to collude to keep him out of football., after the former 49er moved a workout the NFL had organized a month earlier.

Colin Kaepernick looks on during his NFL workout held at Charles R Drew high school on November 16, 2019 in Riverdale, Georgia. The former 49ers quarterback has called for police to be abolished.

Sister Christian has a message for Colin Kaepernick in her song, 'When God Steps In.' Please listen.

and i demand that Colin act like an actual human being

He demands? Who the hell is he to demand? We, the everyday Joe demand the NFL to get up off their knee or find other fans. Respect the flag. Without the flag, without those that fought for the freedom, this prick would have been shot on the street in any other country...

This Guy is One Ignorant Fool and ANYTHING HE SAYS IS

Funny.....as if Colin Kaepernick can demand anybody do anything. He's a loser quarterback that just can't find his way except to spew hatred. He doesn't deserve to play football otherwise he'd be playing. Coaches find players that are good. That is not Kaepernick.

What a loser!

As per tonight's debateOMG Joe, with your left leaning green new deal socialist crew policies!! Yikes = Trump 2020 Please!!!

Let’s ask Colon to get off his knees and answer if he thinks his parents are racists & does he wish they hadn’t adopted him. TrumpNowMoreThanEver2020

Your a joke🤣🤣🤣

Why don’t we focus on gangs, drug dealers and crime in the cities? Those are the ones to blame....

NBA Players say it's hard for a Brotha to make it in Racist America. Look where we have to live!

I’m having a hard time understanding where the racist action is because her boyfriend shot at police after they served a felony warrant. Her BF used her as a human shield after they shot back and the cops are to blame. Seriously I want to get on the train but where is the racism?

He can't 'demand' anything.

This from a guy that does nothing to to help the young black children on the Southside of Chicago being killed by black gang members. Please don’t pretend to care about anything but the money Nike pays you for the BS personality you’ve created. Just sickening.

Stand With The Blue 💙

I still have not seen a single piece of evidence that the officers in the Breonna Taylor case were white supremacists?

He can’t demand a job. Now he has other demands?

How many community centers have you made for inner city kids Colin You phony

ColbyCovMMA KingJames tomfriedman mchooyah Dear Newsweek! Why do you lie? Why do you support the Destruction of America?

No one cares what he demands

Go visit your all white mother

He is scum

Is there anything more hollow than Colin DEMANDS

I definitely think part of their screening should include a full history of any social media and interviews with people that they know. Police are supposed to uphold the law. Anyone on the job needs to be worthy of it.

What a self-hating young man! After being raised by two loving white parents this is your gratitude? I'm ashamed that your half Italian. I pray for you.

Who?

I agree with Colin!

Who

By the letter of the law the verdict was right, this is more about law than individual.

Let’s not forget to do the same to the Kentucky AG, DanielCameronAG

Working on it. It is the blue and black flag they swore their oath to, and oddly all claim never a knee. Thank You Mr. Kaepernick. Please get good and loud about this. We have to make it so the hood is policed by the hood.

They didn’t do their jobs well. Any employee who fucks up as royally as they handled that non-knock warrant in any other company would get fired. There is no room for racist police in America. policereform

Why can't he be our next president. I'd like to have a leader who is passionate about one thing I can unreservedly support.

This is as ignorant as he is untalented...

That's like asking Nazi Germany to abolish the Gestapo.

Again, why do you keep reporting on this guy? This isn’t news. It’s ridiculous propaganda.

colinkapernick always a victim. Lousy quarterback that nobody wants....so he stokes flames of racism. He is straight up racist. And I hear he has a white parent. White Supremacy? Really? Come One Man....white supremacists wouldn't work hand in hand with black officers.

Who gives a fuk what this guy thinks he is manipulating poor uneducated minds to give his new career substance !!!!! His parents are white how black is he ?

FLUCKKCK U KAPERSNIK

I'm with Colin. How would whites react if there were Black or Latino supremacist police? Would they feel just as oppressed as what's happening to people of color? They'd be whining their heads off & taking action.

I wholeheartedly agree with Colin Kaepernick.

Colin Kaepernick is my real hero!

In for KAP but this statement is too general what is white supremacist police & how do you test for that.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

He demands, bahahaha

He can kiss our butts in KY. She was involved in drugs. He knows absolutely 0 about her. He is a dur didda dur ding dong thit for brains & a racist. He demonizes white people/police. He uses his so called fame to vomit his opinions. He is a shame to sports & America

Who cares ... maybe he should ban drug dealers that shoot a cops... what a moron

We need robo cops. That way when dumb asses refuse to comply and get shot it will not be due to racism.

from what I have been seeing on videos time and time again, this is getting more and more difficult for y'all to deny!

We need to stop hiding our heads in the sand and pretending this shit will go away. It’s only getting worse. The more we ignore the problem, the worse it gets. Breonna Taylor was just the tip of the iceberg. Her precious life mattered. Let’s look at things again and prove that!

How do you test for “ white supremacist” in the police force? I agree they need to be abolished, but I also think our justice system needs to stop protecting them. If they commit murder, then charge them with murder. If they show any signs of racism get rid of them quickly.

Umm... this isn’t journalism

It's the DEA policy of no-knock raids that needs to be abolished, not the entire police. This is an ignorant statement. He was ahead of the curve on his protest, but he isn't the sharpest guy out there.

Kap

Who is he?

Colin...let’s put it where it is...those police would have been indicted if the AG had wanted them to be. He is black. He’s in their pockets. He needs to lose his license.

Love Kap! He’s the wokest! Woke hair, woke socks, woke everything!

Traitors!!

That just another way of saying to defund the Police! We get what you’re you communist!!

Breonna Taylor's drug dealing boyfriend is responsible for her death

Go away!!🖕

He didn't vote

ZuzuBriar I agree.

Let's say you're innocent of no crime but is confronted by cops. Would you resist or get locked up for nothing? If no one gets judged accordingly to the LAW. Then the LAW will never be kept! Now people will resist out of fear alone. It may be their last day here.

Kaepernick isn’t even worth reporting about.

Drug War Cannabis Food is Medicine illegal 1915 El Paso Genesis 1:29 God & Science prove Cannabinoids are Nutrients

What a clown

Kneel if you want police abolished

Biggest problem is black on black crime. Maybe Colin or BLM might wanna take a look

Yes!

Who died and made you a leader?

Respect him but don't agree.

I agree with him

live in effin hotbed of racist cops. they're thugs running security for organized crime.

That’s not what he said.

He’s white privledged

As he should. As we all should.

He should run for mayor of San Francisco and implement it

He demands? Lmao

And he is right!

He’s such a loser.

Lmao. Dumb dumb dumb keeps getting dumber.

What an unbelievable piece of human garbage

That AG needs to be investigated first!

Hey will somebody go tell that Kaepernick guy that God says that EVERYBODY IS BLACK & that all so called 'whites' are simply Light Skinned 'Black' people, ... and White & Black Supremacists are only make believe. CASE CLOSED. Sorry, & there is no Santa Claus.

I love him.

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

So he wants a society like Mad Max does he.

And what’s this genius’s plan for after police are abolished? All of a sudden we become a utopia we’re zero crimes are committed & everyone lives in peace?

What about the ones responsible for the BreonaTaylorVerdict ?

Newsweek just got a chubby

demands🤣😡 yes NFL owners now support him😂

Kaepernick is a complete fraud.

How do we know that Breonna's tragic murder was about race? Are we suggesting the police wouldn't have shot back if she and her boyfriend were white? Seems like this more of a drug-war/bad police protocol issue than a race issue.

Love this dude. Kaepernick

The Police and their enablers sure are doing a good job of arguing for it.

'Damn those white supremacist police who shoot back when drug dealers shoot at them.' But her family got $12 million anyway woo-hoo!

He really hates Black people. Since they are the ones being killed by other Black people regularly. Is he insane?

Yeah, well, he’s an idiot.
