Kaepernick donates $25,000 to group honoring convicted cop-killer

Colin Kaepernick started out taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality, but his activism has since expanded to encompass a wide range of leftist causes, including a group named after a convicted cop-killer.

The Colin Kaepernick Foundation donated in April $25,000 to Assata’s Daughters, a Chicago “direct action” resistance organization honoring Assata Shakur, who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after being found guilty in the 1973 murder of Officer Werner Foerster.

The grant includes $2,500 for CopWatch, a program that trains volunteers to follow and video police, and $15,000 for teen training, part of the group’s commitment to “develop and train young people, ages 4-19, in the Black queer feminist tradition and in the spirit of Assata.”

Apparently Mr. Kaepernick is also a fan: He retweeted a July 16 message wishing Shakur a happy birthday.

Any player kneeling on Sunday indicates his support of cop killers and should be fired immediately. I’ve long said BLM is not a race issue but designed to destroy authority in society and bring about its’ downfall. I suspect that those supporting globalism are well in step with BLM. Destroy America and show the need for a world government to take control. Yeah, like that’ll improve things!

[08] several witnesses stated that Brown appeared to pose a physical threat to Wilson as he moved toward Wilson.

I do believe that a few of those witnesses experienced untimely deaths.

>>Make fools of them all in from of the country that they hate.<<

Yes, they’re fools, young fools who don’t have a clue. And that includes Aaron Rodgers, by the way.

But to say they hate the country is quite a stretch. You’re right though about putting each of them on the spot by asking them what they think of Kaepernick’s recent action. They each need to learn that life is a little more complicated than their young foolish minds think it is and that they shouldn’t pick a side in an argument without having a clue what the argument really is about.

In the present case, Kaepernick has clearly stated that he disrespects our flag and our country. The young fools protesting with him have forgotten that, or were never aware of it in the first place.

As for the old geezers (the owners), well they’re old fools with no excuse other than fearing that their bread and butter is at risk and they have no clue how to handle the situation.

Ironically, President Trump has outed every fool in the NFL (old and young) and now each of them is trying to get out of the resulting flak (except for Kaepernick, who deserves everything he’s got coming to him.)

One of these days, this rectum and his jihadist female buddy might need some cops to save their asses.

Who should look the other way. Unfortunately, they probably won't.

How exactly is this helping any of his poor, black brethren? Isn’t that supposed to be the basis of this mess?

Such worthy causes Kaepernick donates to.
So far, he [Kaepernick] has given $900,000 in grants to 31 organizations, including apolitical services like Meals on Wheels as well as advocacy groups pushing a left-of-center agenda on issues like abortion, climate change, criminal-justice reform and immigration.

Contributions include $25,000 for 350.org, a climate-change group dedicated to fighting fossil fuels, and $25,000 for the Center for Reproductive Rights, a pro-choice advocacy organization.

The foundation gave $50,000 in December for a “health clinic partnership” at the now-defunct Dakota Access pipeline protest, and $25,000 to United We Dream in order to “keep DACA in force,” referring to President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive order.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback also has close ties to the Women’s March, including organizers Tamika D. Mallory, Carmen Perez and Linda Sarsour.

The Kaepernick Foundation donated in June $25,000 to the Gathering for Justice NYC, headed by Ms. Perez, while Ms. Mallory and Ms. Sarsour appeared at the Aug. 24 pro-Kaepernick rally outside NFL headquarters. …
Go ahead and take a knee for all that evil one more time, NFHell players and owners.

This happens every time Trump tweets or says something provocative or controversial in a speech.

It prompts the traitorous cockroaches out of the dark, scurrying into the light of day for all to see and identify.

This includes these Colin Krapinyourpants wannabes kneeling at the NFL games, the GOP establishment, the Never Trumpers and the liberals and their Leftie media types and bobble heads on TV and in print.

Trump throws out the bait and they bite. Easy-peasy for identifying the "enemies within". It works every single time.

Bless Trump for having the courage, backbone and cajones to expose these slimy creatures in the DC Swamp and around the country for all to see. If Trump wasn't president, none of this exposure would happen.

Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks.

Hateful violent comments are NEVER even considered 'divisive' by the press. That term is ONLY used against Republicans. There's NOT one time in eight years that that term was applied to something Obama said... NOT ONCE.

It's not just the democrats the dots need to be connected to - it's also the the lying press that covers for any thug who has a "D" by his name.

It would be a damn shame if this pig were to someday find himself walking down a deserted Chicago street at 2AM.Ten bucks says his attitude toward cops would change if he heard footsteps behind him.

“But to say they hate the country is quite a stretch.”

You’re right. I should have put it differently.

However, for some there on the gridiron, that shoe probably did fit, but certainly not all.

The relatives of the murdered should file for a civil lawsuit against him.
