While the Philadelphia Police Department was battling several gunmen inside a home in North Philly after attempting to serve a warrant on drug-related charges, ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was bragging about his anti-cop activism.
“Today marks the three year anniversary of the first time I protested systemic oppression. I continue to work and stand with the people in our fight for liberation, despite those who are trying to erase the movement! The movement has always lived with the people!” he said on Twitter Wednesday night.
He attached a video of alleged police brutality, once again vilifying cops, though he says his movement is not rooted in hatred for police, the rule of law, or the United States.
As Kaepernick bragged about his activism, six Philadelphia Police Officers were being treated for wounds received in the line of duty.
A gun battle between cops and a violent felon, and subsequent hostage standoff, brought North Philly to a grinding halt Wednesday night after police tried to serve a warrant on drug-related charges.
“The suspect barricaded himself inside a building on 15th Street, police said. The shootout began during a narcotics operation at around 4:30 p.m. when officers entered the home to serve a search warrant and were met with gunfire,” according to ABC. “Some officers had to escape through windows and two were trapped inside with the shooter for several hours, police said. The trapped officers were safely removed from the home as of 9:30 p.m.”
Maurice Hill, 34, who has a long rap sheet including charges for being a felon in possession of a firearm, was taken into custody peacefully overnight. Charges related to Wednesday night’s incident have not yet been announced.
None of this apparently matters to Kaepernick, who was drummed out of the NFL after making himself a social justice pariah. He began kneeling for the National Anthem before NFL games in protest of what he calls “systemic oppression” while he played for the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. He sparked a trend that, in relation to the lengthy history of the NFL, was short-lived.
He was never able to secure another contract after his time with the 49ers expired, partly because he was a mediocre player, but also because his social justice activism was likely viewed as a distraction to team owners. The combined effect of those two factors made Kaepernick unemployable.
He later sued the NFL for “collusion,” essentially claiming that the league owed him a job, and that no team would sign him because of his politics. The NFL eventually settled that lawsuit for an undisclosed amount.
Kaepernick was rewarded by Nike, though, with a contract reportedly worth “millions,” and his own line of apparel. He also does commercials for the sports industry giant.
Of his more egregious anti-police statements, Kaepernick once wore socks depicting pigs wearing police uniforms. Today, he still maintains that his activism is not anti-police.
He is a great example of a racist, because he is making his statement against white cops detaining or arresting black people who refuse to obey the commands of police officers when being held in custody or arrested. It is very simple people! Regardless of your color of skin or race, obey our constituted legal authorities and if innocent you will be treated fairly and released. If you are guilty of something you can be fairly treated but will remain in custody which would be your fault for breaking the laws to start with! Don’t act like a damn fool when dealing with the authorities because you set the tone of the situation at that point whether it will be good or bad like whether you obey or disobey. But in today’s society we reward bad. That’s why he has a contract with a company I won’t even name nor will I or the Division 1 University I work for ever purchase anything from that company again.
nothing happens to these types and why?????? bc then we are racists and that’s a bunch of bull – haters always get their just due and he will get his.
Well said, thank you. I will never purchase a product from any company this creep represents!
I second that!
SOMEBODY SHOOT THIS KAPERDICK PIECE OF SHIT
Any NFL team should be very careful of bringing
this racist POS into their organization. He has
already poisoned the NFL with his kneeling.
There are a lot of athletes who respect our flag
and don’t want vile scum on their team.
Racism is vile and evil…and it sure doesn’t make
much sense to invite it into your home.
KaperDICK has only one agenda…HIMSELF..
The pigs on Kaepernicks socks should be wearing football helmets with the faces of him and his followers. The “no talent” Kaepernick wouldn’t know the difference. When someone in his family is gunned down mercilessly for no reason, the police should do nothing for him until he learns and respects the truth. It’s not “systemic” on the part of the police, it’s “systemic” on the part of CRIMINALS. And the skin color does not matter!!! FIRE KAEPERNICK PERMANENTLY, or until he learns the truth and difference!!!
TRUMP 2020!!!
boycott Nike”
Colin KrapyPrick ,a lowlife S.O.B. who threw away a professional football career to be a mouthpiece of protest . If you want fair treatment from law enforcement , start by respecting the law . Police and law enforcement are tasked with enforcing our laws and there are those out there who seem to think they can ignore them . FeEl they are above the law . America elected a president who was of mixed race , half black half white . That president did nothing to halt the tide of racism , only fueled it . And now when we have a new President , a second rate athlete decides to stage cheap and unpatriotic protests against our flag . Let us ignore the fact that he has an anti American girlfriend , a football game , let alone any athletic event is not the place for protests . But then again I guess he thought where else can I protest and get paid at the same time . Well now , three yrs down the road this bum is sitting on the sidelines wishing he could be back in the game . Expecting a big salary when he is at best a back up and possibly only good enough to be the backup to the backup , IE; third string . Colin , if you are so unhappy in America , LEAVE !
He is the lowest form of scum! Only way he gets attention is by being a cop hater! He’s a disgrace to this country! Nike should be ashamed supporting an asshole like this.
he is an evil.wicked man who needs to be banned from USA as he is a traitor! give him a one way ticket to any coyntry of his choosing and revolt his citizenship to America!
Kaepernick is nothing but a thug who happened to have a little; very little, talent on the FB field. He is given far too much credit for his inabilities, and way too much publicity for his radical ideals.
Idiots like this need to be shut down FAST; as Barney Fife once said, “nip it in the bud”. He and his kind are a cancer in the American society!
Send his ass to the front line in war without a weapon to stand guard, if he runs shoot who cares if he dies
He is just a half-breed that does not know his butt from a hole in the ground
His name is spelled the wrong way it should be colon instead of Colin.
Paybacks are a bitch and his day will come. He’s a washed up has been QB and if any NFL team picks him up, this will start all over again. I’m curious as to what his degree is that he earned in college. Maybe some of his rich elitist liberal supporters can fix him up.
Black people think they can talk 90 miles an hour to try to get out of trouble! listen dumb asses, Cops have a job to do,so if they are talking to you,listen to what they say shut up,and keep your !with shit until they ask a question!!!!!!
If you dont hate any of the three you mentioned, what do you hate .. you’re as biased as the moron demonrats ..you know you hate everything about this country ,dont lie about it.
I hope that if he ever needs a cop, they will tell him to stick it up his ahole.
I already thought that Colon Kappernutz was a sqamulous toe-rag when he first disrespected the Flag, the Anthem, the Troops, and the Nation.
Now? He’s nothing less than an Enemy of America. Hopefully he’ll go [bleep] himself with a rusty iron stick, preferably coated with the Ebola virus.
This treacherous POS is a tool, as is Lebron James and many other sports figures, actors, entertainers, and fake news shills for the NWO-ists; they are richly rewarded and given much publicity as long as they promote the NWO agenda! The tragedy is that nearly half the country. and growing, believe the evil lies being propagated by these demonic psychopaths because they have been dumbed-down, drugged-up, PC bullied, indoctrinated and brainwashed into becoming suicidal, useful idiots that are gleefully and violently aiding and abetting in their demise as well as the rest of “US”! So, for this very reason: REVOLUTION will be the SOLUTION – guaranteed; that is why they are ever so clever and diabolically trying to disarm US by the NWO-FBI perpetrating most of these false-flag mass shootings that are meant to terrorize the dumb-(m)asses into saying “UNCLE” and giving up their only defense against Them! This is the truth, like it or not, believe it or not – deal with it fools, soon to be enslaved fools at that! There are Walmarts and Sam’s Clubs just awaiting those who see the picture as I do -FUK THEM! I only wish that NSA would put my truthful posts on their fake news so that the sheeple could be awaken from their hedonistic stupor!
Shows you how “Stupid” Kaepernick is. Nike should have left the shoes on the market. The Betsy Ross flag represented the original 13 colonies and States. It had nothing to do with race. Slavery existed in the Old Testament.
I can’t do anything about him other than never buy anything made by NIKE after having thrown everything I did own in a fire.
Nike ,you will eventually suffer from your ill formed sense of activism. Colin Kaepernick has taken activism to a new ridiculous high. Is this what you want to represent your company. America will show you that this is unacceptable .
Colin Kaepernick ! May finding himself in JAIL one day .. This DEPLORABLE PIG is meet up with the WRONG person and get his AS S kick down the Street.. I wish there was some way that someone would
Cuff him and Stuff him in JAIL for a long time.. HE is a DISGRACE to the HUMAN RACE and needs to be put in his place and keep his PIE HOLE SHUT !..
A useless excuse for a quarterback so he has to turn to hating cops and being the thug he has always dreamed of being.
Maybe a cop should eliminate Kapper punk.
I’LL BE CLAPPING WHEN THIS DIRBAG GETS RUN OVER BY A BUS – THIS IS THE KIND OF HATE WE DO NOT ACCEPT IN THIS COUNTRY – GET THE HELL OUT
Let us not forget these things:
1 – Kaepernick’s first kneeling protest was to protest THE POLICE. He wanted the world to know how much he hated cops.
2 – He wore socks that had images of pigs in police uniforms.
3 – The owner of the team could have stopped Kaepernick’s kneeling, and could have stopped him from wearing the socks, BUT THE OWNER CHOSE NOT TO.
4 – Not stopping Kaepernick, tells me the owner is on Kaepernick’s side, and hates cops, and is for the movement that started from it.
5 – Any team owner who allows their players to kneel, are telling the world they too hate cops.
In this case I reference. The infamous Martel the QB in the movie The Replacements, in which Martel says to Shane Falco “ hey Falco your not even a has been— your a never was !” Hey Kapernick your not even a never was, you won no titles, no glory, and almost single handily destroyed the NFL. You got what you wanted “ money” your a selfish greedy person and a bad influence!! Take your money and disappear!!!!! Do go away mad, just go away !!!!!!
Colin makes himself out to be such an America hating jerk that it forces me to tell him that if I ever see him, I will put a 2×4 to his head. That jack ass should be shunned by any and all. Nike can take their products and shove them up their corporate asses.
Personally, I have had enough of these haters of our country. MOVE OUT! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
Krapperdick is an ungrateful, no talent, racist, trouble making, un-American piece of crap! He was sitting the bench and wanted attention. He is a total disgrace and the reason I would not spend a cent on the NFL or watch them on TV, and will not buy Nike products! I am tired of seeing his ugly face!
One can only someone puts a round in his mouth.
“BLUE LIVES MATTER”
Why are you even putting this low-life, bottom-feeding, scum-sucking dirtbag in the news ?????? All he wants is press time — if you ignore the scumbag POS — just maybe he will just go the he!! away and never come back.
I always thought Colon needed a bullet in that knee the piece of shit knelt on!!! Now I know he needs a bullet in the head as well! The thought that there is a problem between police and my black brothers has always been extremely ludicrous!!! Colin’s protests have always been ant-American lying trash that has furthered the racial divide between Americans! He has never been a hero in his life or causes!!! Law Enforcement and military folks are the true heroes that have suffered greatly over this failed entertainers social justice bullshit!!! Athletes are exactly like actors. They are entertainers, and nothing more! Real Americans have grown utterly sick and tired of hearing entertainers political points of view! I place Colin in the same pathetic category as ultimate anti-American pieces of shit like Robert dinero and Bette midler! No true American wants to hear a damn word those piece of shit anti-Americans have to say but, other left wing brain dead democrats, liberals, and socialists that do not deserve to breath free air or live in a free country. All of their political points of view are destroying our American society and it’s values!!! Yes, even brain dead morons have a right to speak in a free society but, intelligent people don’t have to listen to them or put up with their bullshit! So, Colin Robert, Bette, Nike and all you other left wing brain dead idiotic morons here is a big fat, “Shut the fuck up” from this disabled combat veteran! We have heard enough of your bullshit!!!
Disgraceful, irresponsible racist man.
I wonder if Dizzy Goodell is going to tell us the NFL, like Kaepernick is going to support the terrorist thug group antifa…..The NFL had better be making plans to dump both of these clowns and any other stupid dingbat that thinks America wants their sports politicized…..We the people, can and will reorganize the entire sports world and make it more affordable and representative of the American will to win…If you jocks on those teams think your to valuable to be fired and you owners don’t give a hoot about this country, think about where your going to try and work next…
Racism isn’t just white against black; it’s any ethnicity against another ethnicity. This jackass is the epitome of racism – the poster child thug! I really hope that anti-American a$$hole, Kaepernick is in need of police protection someday and they are nowhere to be found in his time of need. He needs to be shipped off to wherever he thinks is better than the US and have his passport revoked. He is a disgrace to America!! I guess he is still trying to be relevant – NOT! I wonder if his parents are proud of him. They might be the ones who wear bags over their heads when they go out in public, embarrassed by the shame.
Shame on Nike…. For supporting such a racist
He’s calling for liberation, a million air who can live any where he wants to. If he wants to be liberated he can leave any time he wants to, how much more liberation and freedom can he want. Go live somewhere else you big stupid bast*rd. China, NK, Cuba and a host of other countries would welcome an American hater like him, every time he opens his big stupid mouth he makes it harder for him to get back in the game, which is a good thing, for America and Americans.
This worthless clown`s comments are not worth even responding to. Next case. You may step down.
He is trash
Maybe some day someone will break into Kaepernick,s house and the police just don’t show up.
Kapernick is nothing more than a no talent, loud mouth racist un-American creep. He is dividing our whole country with his racist remarks and stands. I know he is proud of all of this but most Americans just wish he would fade away.
Why not try to make things better for everyone instead of always racist division?
Boycott Nike for supporting a racist. I went to a Yankee and wanted to buy a shirt or 2. However when I looked at the manufacturer I walked out of the store
He is a racist. I haven’t purchased anything from Nike since he went to work for them. I actually purchased a stand up for Betsy Ross T-shirt after the tennis shoe incident. If Nike keeps him employed I’ll never buy from Nike again ever.
This is just another example of an anti American maggot who is profiting from it’s hate for everything American
KrapperDICK is a GIANT piece of DUNG that REALLY needs FLUSHED, PERIOD! Ol’ 3-13 was a piece of dung football player to boot!!
He financially supports cop-killer, Joanne Chesimard, in Cuba.
Oppression my a..,He doest KNOW what Oppression IS!! Another Lazy,Useless Crybaby.I Love how All these half-breeds are raised by White folks because the’re darker half Abandoned them,And they All grow up to be black radicals!! Ungrateful pigs. Please Leave,if you Dont like it here,Dont Bitch about Everything about the country and continue to stay here and keep Ruining it. This country would have been Soo Much Better if you where Never here! Bu Bye Semper Fi
If we all ban together and boycott nike and the not for long NFL ,quit watching games and buying NFL goods we can make this racist person who thinks he because he is of color wants everyone to bow to him.Nike makes millions off of cheap labor on women and men who are underpaid and overworked to pay for his endorsements. If he is so worried about opression to others lets see him give money to those people.He is a self centered ,lazy no for good creep who need to be brought down to a level of us common people.
