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.

A judge, at any level of the food chain, is the ultimate authority.
Hey, the judge went to law school!

We have way way way too many law schools. We need to cut off all funding. These clowns are the enablers of most of what is taking our nation down a toilet. Lawyers defending trash for cash.
There’s a video out there that captures some audio just after the incident. It has them discussing how he “turned and ran back at him that’s when he got shot”, of course it has the screaming “they shot him for no reason” in there too.

Useful idiot with money.........................
Thanks, CK, for helping Trump’s re-election campaign.
Equality! Equality! Equality!
Behind every ignorant, spoiled and anti-American SJW is a radicalized muslim BLM agitator.

I could make a snarky comment about Lee showing off her skills in a "previous occupation", but maybe not.
Previous ? Surely you jest.
Kaepernick donates $25,000 to group honoring convicted cop-killer
Now I understand. This is what all the NFL protests are about.
Not with that mouth full of gorilla teeth. She must have been a cleaning lady, not a sex worker.
better save your money, douche-bag
One of these days, this rectum and his jihadist female buddy might need some cops to save their asses.
K thug, be careful of what you kneel and pray for!
Not beyond the realm of possibilities.
Wow, thanks. Yes, certainly one of the most prolific racists.
These people do not even attempt to hide who they are and what they want. How much more blatantly seditious do they have to get before they are officially correctly identified for the dangerous threats that they are, to our Republic and its liberty-loving citizens?
Will we live long enough to see them arrested, tried, convicted, and jailed for their sedition? Years ago, this was handled swiftly and “permanently”.
All that kneeling ignores the real cause of soaring black homicides
By Heather Mac Donald September 26, 2017 | 7:14pm | Updated
The FBI released its official crime tally for 2016 on Monday, and the data flies in the face of the rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend.
Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population.
The increase in black homicides last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.
Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks.
In 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post. The paper categorized only 16 black male victims of police shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and violent resistance to arrest.
Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.
Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers — committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.
Among all homicide suspects whose race was known, white killers of blacks numbered only 243.
Violent crime has now risen by a significant amount for two consecutive years. The total number of violent crimes rose 4.1 percent in 2016, and estimated homicides rose 8.6 percent.
In 2015, violent crime rose by nearly 4 percent and estimated homicides by nearly 11 percent. The last time violence rose two years in a row was 2005-06.
The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect. Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.
Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 a.m., many officers are instead just driving by.
Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.
Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January 2017. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.
Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police — including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes.
The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.

I think the GOP globalists might be interested in the “bravery” and apology experience of Alejandro Villanueva.
