Dear Officer Asswipe:

“These kinds of articles just continue to burn the fires of racial tension and hatred”

So to be clear, you think Kaepernick “has embarrassed himself, the 49er organization, and the NFL based on a false narrative and misinformation that lacks any factual basis” ?

Relatedly (I think), it always seems disingenuous to me when those called out in their *official* capacity disemble by pointing out that other problems also exist in the world based on actions taken as private citizens. Protesting government (which is what Kaeps is doing) serves a function that would not be served by…

Especially considering many cops don’t view them as unions, they call them PBA or similar.

Couple people covered this already but to add: this stopped being a question about racial politicking the moment it happened and immediately pivoted to whether “that boy” had the right to protest. If the article “burns the fires of tension and hatred” then a police union chief writing in to say Kapernick was in the…

Maybe more of those good cops should shut down the bad ones instead of looking the other way. Seems like this whole thing would be over in ten minutes if the numbers are like you say.

I only wish Mr. Kaepernick we as police officers, ostensibly dedicated civil servants, could see the emotional and psychological challenges that our officers citizens in the communities we are entrusted to serve face following a fatal encounter with the worst of our officer representatives, in addition to daily…

You have a cop talking about watching the children, no, sorry, blacks at his kid’s school like hawks, and people wonder why black people might not trust the police when they say, “Don’t blame us for the racial divide.”

It is unfair to take on that responsibility... says people whose sole job it is to be the responsible party.

I realize his job is to be deliberately obtuse, but for anyone who buys this crap, the reason the number of police officers killed or assaulted isn’t relevant to the discussion is because police officers have nobly and bravely signed up for a job where their role is to stop criminals. It is awful and tragic when…

The law enforcement community cannot be continuously blamed for all of society’s problems, including racial divide, in our country.

Don’t insult AMC like that. AMC was a small car company that was mostly scandal-free throughout its life.

I am not an engineer, but I have those cool blue & white striped overalls they wear. Choo choo, motherf*****!

If what Kaepernick is protesting is powerful and meaningful enough to him to sit instead of standing for the flag, maybe one might want to investigate *why* that is, instead of policing the tone of the protest.

And Kaepernick gets it. I don’t think I’ve heard him whine once about the reaction that he’s gotten.

What exactly makes our flag or any other “sacred”?

I don’t stand for the National Anthem, either. I refuse to acknowledge o’er as a word.
