When you put on a police uniform you are obligated to perform your duties, which may include serving and protecting people you may not care for personally. Cops in San Francisco said “to hell with that” since they’re reportedly threatening to boycott working 49ers games unless Colin Kaepernick is somehow punished for his National Anthem protests. 

Reports the Chicago Tribune:

A letter from the Santa Clara Police Officers Association sent to the 49ers was obtained Friday by KNTV-TV, the NBC affiliate in San Jose.

It says that Kaepernick’s protest has “threatened our harmonious working relationship” with the 49ers. About 70 officers from the Santa Clara Police Department patrol Levi’s Stadium when the 49ers play there.

“If the 49ers organization fails to take action to stop this type of inappropriate behavior it could result in police officers choosing not to work at your facilities,” the letter reads. “The board of directors of the Santa Clara Police Officer’s Association has a duty to protect its members and work to make all of their working environments free of harassing behavior.”

“Inappropriate behavior”? Kaepernick is protesting the killing of innocent Black by police who never are held accountable for their actions. Does the police union consider that behavior inappropriate or nah?

As BSO points out, police are provided EXTRA security for a white guy convicted of raping an unconscious woman.

Oh yeah, Kap won’t be the started, but he made the San Francisco 49ers roster today.
