Union: Santa Clara police may boycott 49ers games over Kaepernick row

he Santa Clara police union issued a letter to the San Francisco 49ers that indicated police may stop working the team's home games due to Colin Kaepernick's statements on police brutality and his wearing of socks during a practice that showed cartoon pigs dressed as police officers.

The letter, obtained by NBC Bay Area, stated that if the 49ers organization does not take action against Kaepernick, "it could result in police officers choosing not to work at your facilities."

The letter also stated that "the board of directors of the Santa Clara Police Officers' Association has a duty to protect its members and work to make all of their working environments free of harassing behavior."

If you let him get away with it, more will try it, the Domino Effect and it will keep spreading. You are containing a dangerous action.

The only attention deserved by Kapernick is for all Americans to call him out LOUDLY and denounce him for being the lowlife, traitorous narcissist that he is.

The NFL supports, and even engages in enemy islamism.

But, hey. “What channel’s the game on?”

I’d like to bet this guy’s daddy was a muslim. He looks more middle eastern than black.

Imagine how his adoptive parents feel. And his uncles. He has two uncles that are cops.

They all need some family therapy sessions.

I highly doubt all of that. They work an extra day and don't get paid for it, same as if they stayed home? Lol!

You don't know what you are talking about. We hire off duty police officers as security at our events. We pay them. The city does not. They are not on the city clock racking up overtime.
