FWIW; some more of the colin interview; he uses a shotgun to pan everyone:

Reporter: Colin, the fact that this is an election year, does this have anything to do with the timing?

Kaepernick: Once again, it wasn’t a timing thing, it wasn’t something that was planned. But I think the two presidential candidates we currently have also represent the issue we have in this country right now.

Reporter: Do you want expound on that?

Kaepernick: I mean, you have Hillary who’s called black teens and black kids super predators. You have Donald Trump who’s openly racist. We have a presidential candidate whose deleted emails and done things illegally – and is a presidential candidate. That doesn’t make sense to me, because if that was any other person, you’d be in prison. So what is this country really standing for?

Reporter: It is a country that’s elected a black president twice. Can you see why people are saying why the outrage, when we have country who’s selected a black president and had done many things and sacrificed a lot of things for freedom.

Kaepernick: It has elected a black president, but there are also a lot of things that haven’t changed. There are a lot of issue that still haven’t been addressed. That’s something that over an eight year term, there are a lot of things that are hard to change and there are a lot of things that he doesn’t have complete control over.

Reporter: What would you say would be a success for you – just in the short term?

Kaepernick: That’s a tough question because there’s a lot of things that need to change. There’s a lot of different issues that need to be addressed. It’s really hard to lock down one specific thing that needs to change currently.

Reporter: One last thing Colin, my wife’s a cosmetologist and she has very extensive training.

Kaepernick: (laughs) See it’s amazing to me that she has more training that officers who are supposed to be protecting people.
