Honest question. For someone that is so invested in pointing out police violence that you post multiple times a day in the Kaepernick thread, I noticed you had not as much interest in the thread about the police shooting in Mesa. Why is that?squistion said:Indeed. See: Voter Fraud, New Hampshire.

The Brutal Police Execution of Daniel Shaver
Sadly I've studied 100s of videos of American police executing non-violent, unarmed people. This is one of the worst I've ever witnessed.
This happened in January of 2016, but the judge just released the video.
A grave injustice.

Yeah.

basically every team you thought should sign Krap has done just fine with him. Please stop reposting these worthless tweets.Near the top, but it's not going to happen.
Unless they want to continue to roll with Case Keenum until Bradford is healthy, Vikings should seriously consider signing Kaep.
I commend his efforts. I really do.Eric Phillips @EricFPhillips 6m
.@Kaepernick7 visited young adults at Rikers Island this morning. Spent two hours w/ a group of young men & their mentors. No cameras. No promotion. He’s just helping turn around lives many people have given up on. He’s the real deal.
A New Orleans Saints season-ticket holder is suing the team because some of the players took a knee during the national anthem.
Lee Dragna said that actions of some players, who are taking a knee to raise awareness for police brutality and racial inequality, prevented he and his family from enjoying Saints games at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Dragna filed his lawsuit at the 24th Judicial Court in Jefferson Parish and he's seeking a refund for his season tickets and attorney's fees.

The New York Post gave an extensive breakdown of Kaepernick’s day with inmates and his work to creative productive change.This is a guy using his celebrity to help young adults turn their lives around, to his own significant professional cost. He should be applauded.
The visit was arranged by “100 Suits for 100 Men” which helps inmates with suits upon leaving prison. Kaepernick has previously donated toward the non-profit organization.The morning started off with Kaepernick attending breakfast in the warden’s office before heading over to the “Peace Center” where he conducted two 45 minutes sessions with prisoners clad in gray jumpsuits. The first group included 14 inmates including six adults and eight adolescents.
A volunteer at the jail introduced Kapernick, who gave a 10 minute talk before fielding questions and signing autographs. “They were basic questions, like what’s it like to play in the NFL,” said the source. “Then they asked him about taking a knee, why was he doing it. He said he was doing it to call attention to police brutality. He said he felt that, being a man of means, he felt obligated to take a stance on what he believes in.”
In the second session, which consisted of four adults and 10 adolescents, Kaepernick was more direct on his feelings about police brutality, the source said. “He came out of the gate with the police brutality… and he said the NFL was keeping him out of the game for speaking out.”
The source described the atmosphere in the room as calm and added that Kaepernick did not say anything derogatory about the police or corrections officers. “He was telling them how they could do better in life, that they’ve made mistakes, that this wasn’t the end for them, that they could go on to do good things,” he said.
Hopefully these guys can get jobs and kneel on the job tooGetting into the holiday spirit...

Police Union Decides to Cancel Christmas Because Colin Kaepernick Visited Inmates at Rikers Island
Rikers Island inmates are losing Christmas over backlash from a visit by Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick, who visited to discuss police brutality and offer encouragement to inmates, presence was an unwanted sight for the Correction Officers Benevolent Association. Several factors played a role into their disdain for Kaepernick’s Tuesday visit. Regardless, The New York Daily News details why Union officials canceled a scheduled Christmas tree lighting celebration for inmates.
“This will only encourage inmates to continue to attack Correction Officers at a time when we need more protection,” said Elias Husamudeen, president of the Correction Officers Benevolent Association.
The tree lighting ceremony is being held on Rikers Island in front of the Samuel L. Perry Center on Tuesday night. The union typically pays for a coffee truck and also supplies doughnuts for officers in attendance.
New York City Hall spokesman Eric Phillips meanwhile applauded Kaepernick .

I don't know who Usher Raymond is but he seems like a classy gentlemanhttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robert-f-kennedy-foundation-celebrates-colin-kaepernick-harry-belafontes-activism-1067599?utm_source=twitter
Robert F. Kennedy Foundation Celebrates Colin Kaepernick, Harry Belafonte's Activism
Although dozens of CEOs, actors and activists came together Wednesday night to honor Harry Belafonte at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights awards dinner, the highlight remained on surprise attendee, Colin Kaepernick.
The Ripple of Hope Awards dinner, which took place in New York City and was hosted by Alec Baldwin, invited big names from various entertainment, retail and tech companies to pay homage to the humanitarian work of celeb-turned-activists like Belafonte and Kaepernick.
“I think that he has focused our country on racism in the criminal justice system and that is very important, and I am eternally grateful to him for that,” said Kerry Kennedy, the president of the Robert F. Kennedy Foundation.
Kennedy’s recent work in releasing detainees in Rikers Island aligned her agenda with Kaepernick’s, who visited the controversial facility on Tuesday.
Danny Glover, a board member of the foundation and another celebrity-turned-activist, also lauded Kaepernick’s declarations after he met the football player at a visit to the 49ers camp.
"I admire him greatly. He’s in the tradition of Muhammad Ali and in the tradition of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and all of those athletes who stood up for justice,” Glover said.
The performer for the evening, Usher Raymond, also spoke frankly about Kaepernick and how he feels about the NFL’s unwillingness to sign the former quarterback after he began kneeling during the national anthem as a protest to police brutality against African Americans.
“Turn your TV off, turn your f—ing TV off. When you have a chance to not watch the NFL then don’t f—ing watch it,” Raymond said. “Don’t say that you f—ing support [Kaepernick] but you turn your TV on every Saturday and Sunday whenever there is a game.”

oh THAT Usher
First Saturday game is this week, Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions.Wait, Saturday games haven't even started yet (Thursday or Monday maybe?). I'm guessing Usher doesn't know much about football in the first place.

Cornball Griffin still looking for work.Texans have promoted Taylor Heinicke from the practice squad. Good for them going with some upside behind Yates this week.
He can wear the "He Hate Me" jersey!Colin and his drama even has the XFL thinking about a comeback.

Dont think Vince will allow kneeling.
Depends on your definition of success. He took his team to two NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl - I would call that succeeding.
He has certainly regressed after Harbaugh left, but I don't buy the narrative that he was never any good.
I personally think he is better than any QB on the Jets roster right now. He might be better Bortles too, if preseason games are any indication.
Foles 237 yards, 4 TDs, tough divisional road win.Near the top, but it's not going to happen.
Been fizzling out for a couple of months now. Months ago Jim Caldwell told the Lions players just do the right thing and stand because we as a team do not need distractions. They listened.http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/262053/nfl-players-who-protested-during-national-anthem-in-week-15
NFL players who protested during national anthem in Week 15 [...]
Here are the players who protested in Week 15 (most recent updates first):
New York Giants: Olivier Vernon continued to be the only Giants player to protest, kneeling during the anthem before Sunday's game against the Eagles. It was his sixth game back after missing four games with an ankle injury. Vernon has done so at every game since Week 3 in Philadelphia. He said recently he plans to continue kneeling until the real message behind the protests is understood by the public. -- Jordan Raanan
New Orleans Saints: Most of the Saints players briefly kneeled in unity before the national anthem against the Jets, as they have done in their past 10 games. They then all stood during the anthem, with some players and coaches locking arms. -- Mike Triplett
Miami Dolphins: Wide receiver Kenny Stills and tight end Julius Thomas took a knee on the field during the national anthem before the Dolphins' game against the Bills. Safety Michael Thomas, who has joined Stills and Thomas this season, did not make the trip to Buffalo due to a knee injury. The trio previously stayed in the locker room for the anthem against the Jets in Week 7, but they have kneeled the past few weeks. Dolphins coach Adam Gase had established a team rule requiring players to either stand for the anthem or stay in the tunnel, but Gase recently told players that if they wanted to come out and kneel, they could do it and they won't be punished for it. -- James Walker
Los Angeles Chargers: Left tackle Russell Okungstood with the rest of his teammates during the national anthem before Saturday's game against the Chiefs, raising his right fist for the fourth straight week. Okung had not raised his fist the two weeks before that as the NFL honored the military, but he did earlier this season. Okung said earlier this year that despite an agreement in principle between the NFL and the Players Coalition to address criminal justice reform, he will continue to protest during the national anthem on game days. He attended a meeting in October with NFL owners and commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss how the league would handle anthem protests. Earlier this season, Okung wrote an open letter to other NFL players on The Players' Tribune, with the goal of overcoming "uncharted territory" by opening a line of communication and responding with "one voice" as players. -- Eric D. Williams
Kansas City Chiefs: Cornerback Marcus Peters came out of the tunnel after the national anthem was over before the Chiefs' game against the Chargers on Saturday. This was the sixth game in a row he had done this, though he was suspended in Week 14. Peters had previously sat on a bench on the sideline for the anthem this season. -- Adam Teicher

Replying to @Diddy @Panthers
There are no majority African American NFL owners. Let’s make history.
Doesn't sound like a smart NFL owner if he thinks Kaep should be in the running for starting QB with Cam there.“I will be the best NFL owner that you can imagine,” he told Panthers fans in an Instagram video. “I will immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation and put him in the running for next year’s starting quarterback.”
