The Chief of the University of Nevada, Reno Police Dept. -- where Colin Kaepernick went to school -- is apologizing for an officer who mocked the QB at a Halloween party.
The officer in hot water is Antonio Gutierrez -- who wore a Kaepernick jersey with a "Will stand for food" sign ... while sporting an afro wig and a fake nose in an effort to make fun of the QB.
But the UNR PD ain't laughing ... Chief Adam Garcia issued a statement condemning Gutierrez saying, "For those who have seen the Halloween costume of one of our officers apparently mocking a citizen who has chosen to take advantage of his constitutional right to protest, I offer my sincere apologies."

So, what, taking a knee is the right of a black quarterback but wearing a timely Halloween costume is somehow wrong? Let's check the replay...
Ahh, right, no policies were violated, so the officer won't be punished. Just abject apologies for someone having a different take on the matter. Love these snowflake generators...

Free speech for me but not for thee.
Obviously the Chief does not support free speech!

What crap. I’ll bet if he mocked Trump there would be no blow back. Political correctness run amok—the constitution be damned.

Have we lost all sense of humour? Society can not laugh at itself anymore? without someone whipping out a piece or going bonkers?

The chief wants to survive in his job. It looks like the officer won’t get fired either.

Wouldn’t call it political correctness, simply agenda driven. The officer chose to make a costume that the department didn’t agree with.
And it doesn’t involve the constitution at this point, as the officer isn’t being punished, simply being thrown under the bus.

Good for Officer Gutierrez. What the heck makes Colin Kaepernick so special that he is above being mocked and criticized?!

Chief Garcia is a PC squish, the officer broke no policy and he was off duty.

“Antonio Gutierrez”? Well then, he should have a “get out of PC jail free” card by virtue of his ethnicity. Oh wait though, he “offended” another member of a “protected class”, so therefore he is now a “white Hispanic.”
I think I’m going to wear out my quotation mark key as well as my sanity if this PC BS keeps up much longer.

It was on his own time. He wasn’t in uniform. And you’d have to know him to know who was under that makeup. Even the punchline was tame.
Amazed the chief felt the need to say anything. Even more amazed that anyone would take genuine offense.

Antonio Gutierrez wore his Halloween costume on his off-duty hours, whereas Colin Kaepernick did his protesting while in uniform, and working.
