Back in the Spotlight: NFL Player Colin Kaepernick Compared Police to Slave Patrol

by Accuracy In Media on

A social justice warrior in sports, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick blasted the decision of a jury to acquit a former police officer for shooting a concealed carry permit-carrying black male named Philando Castile. On Twitter, he tweeted an image comparing the badge of a police officer to a ‘runaway slave patrol’ badge.

Stay classy, Kaepernick.
