Current and former members of the New York City Police Department rallied in Brooklyn Saturday in support of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
According to the Associated Press (via ESPN.com), approximately 75 "mostly minority" officers attended the rally and wore T-shirts featuring the hashtag "#imwithkap."
Frank Serpico, who was played by Al Pacino in the 1973 film Serpico that depicted police corruption, was also in attendance.
"He's trying to hold up this government up to our founding fathers," Serpico told the AP.
Kaepernick, 29, has been an unrestricted free agent since he parted ways with the 49ers in March.
His name has surfaced in several rumors this offseason, most notably regarding backup gigs with the Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens.
According to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Kaepernick is not being blackballed for silently protesting during the national anthem and speaking out against social injustice.
"He can't be because we're not," Goodell said July 30, per WNST's Luke Jones. "The clubs are making those individual evaluations."
Yeah, that was my first thought too when I saw that he dressed out in "cops are pigs" socks...
He probably won’t recognize the Canuckistan anthem.
fro = from
(keyboard is about done)
Giants can have him.
NYPD has job openings for washed up QBs as waterboys?
Fine NYPD. Give this asshat a job.
Maybe someone should tell Kaepernick that he should try another line of work. Tebow has been really successful in baseball, Kaepernick might want to tryout for something less physical like a women’s checker team.
There must be at least 200,000 current and retired NYPD officers out there today. They got 75 to show up in support of Colon K.? LMAO.
I didn’t see this coming. Stupid of them.
Amen!
Maybe he should be hired- to be the grunt who picks all the sweaty towels up off the locker room floor.
If he plays in the Canadian league they’ll call him Canuckernic. No thank-you.
“In the ISIS Football League, the handoff is a career - ending play.”
Hahahaha, that is a good one.
What exactly are they trying to do here? Prove to the NFL owners that yes there is this minority who actually like and support Kaepernick and we’re gonna bully the league and kick and scream until one of you hires them.
He’s not worth the trouble. End of discussion. It’s not worth the backlash from the fans who actually do go to games, buy the psl’s, buy the tickets, buy the merchandise and the video games for our kids. We’re the one’s who have made it abundantly clear that if Kaepernick is in the league they lose our business.
NFL....NATIONAL FELON LEAGUE
maybe they could get it a job in the NYPD
70 of how many thousands of officers?
Probably rent-a-cops at best
