The city allowed Colin Kaepernick to make a surprise visit to Rikers Island Tuesday to meet with inmates — enraging correction officers who feel the stunt will only endanger them.

The former San Francisco 49ers star spoke to groups of inmates during two 45 minute sessions at the jail’s George Motchan Detention Center Tuesday morning where he pontificated on social justice issues and talked about his decision to kneel during the national anthem, sparking nationwide outrage.

“That’s crazy to me to have a person like Colin Kaepernick in prison talking about police brutality,” said an officer who attended the event. “It was insulting for me to be there.”

“In the inmate’s eyes, we are the police when they’re locked up.”

The morning started off with Kaepernick attending breakfast in the warden’s office before heading over to the “Peace Center” where he conducted two 45 minutes sessions with prisoners clad in gray jumpsuits. The first group included 14 inmates including six adults and eight adolescents.

Why doesn’t the SJW distribute some of his millions to the prisoners. Maybe put a few bucks in their meager canteen funds?No?

His visit surely inspired the convicts - but that’s not good.

I see nothing wrong with him going to Rikers, as long as he doesn’t leave.

Lemme guess...he’s gonna tell the “brothas” that they’re all innocent,that they’re all victims,and that they should all put all their energy into standing up to “The Man” and trying to escape.

Kinda like “If we ever agreed that black lives mattered, we would have no more use for this stupid slogan.”

Within three years Kapernick will buy a home in a poor, prodominently black congressional district and will get elected to congress, where he will hold onto the seat for 50 years becoming an “icon”.

He is nothing but a filthy piece of delusional scum. This is his new livelihood, visiting prisons to speak to a captive (literally) audience. Takes such a lot of talent, right?

I’m okay with traitor Colin Kaepernick (2-14 loser) visiting Rikers Island, but I’d prefer his stay extend for 5-20 years.
