National Fraternal Order Of Police Brutally Slaps Down Kaepernick Nike Ad

The National Fraternal Order of Police won’t boycott Nike, but they made it crystal clear that they won’t stand for the company’s controversial Colin Kaepernick ad.

In a press release deliberately titled, “Believe In Something Even If It Means Sacrificing Everything,” Chuck Canterbury, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, issued a powerful dismissal of the Nike ad – and completely humiliated Kaepernick in the process.

“The Fraternal Order of Police has been called upon to boycott Nike for capitalizing on this former professional football player because he attracts controversy,” Canterbury says in the release. “In our experience, boycotts and similar exercises do not succeed and often serve only to enrich the company–which is not what we want to do. Our members and, for that matter, any American citizen, understands when the law enforcement profession is being insulted–we have no doubt they will make their purchases with that insult in mind..”

The statement continues, “If Nike chooses to create an ad campaign featuring a former quarterback who describes cops as ‘pigs’ and makes large donations to the family of a convicted cop killer and wanted fugitive, Joanne Chesimard, who murdered New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in cold blood in 1973, they are free to do so.”

Canterbury ends his statement on a poignant note: “Ultimately, this ad campaign will end and our nation will no longer associate ‘sacrifice’ and ‘sneakers.’ Instead, we will once again associate ‘sacrifice’ with our fellow Americans in our military and police departments who stand in harm’s way to protect the rest of us and our right to express ourselves.”

Is there anything left to be said?

The FOP press release hit all the right notes – unlike the completely tone-deaf Nike ad. If people want to boycott Nike and burn their merchandise out of spite, they have the right to do so. However, posting pictures and videos of your destroyed Jordans achieves nothing save giving Nike free press – and, ultimately, that puts money back in their pockets.

WATCH: The Nike Commercial Every Trump Supporter Will Love

The real way to get back at Nike is to ignore them and realize that their ad campaign – as well as Kaepernick’s “activism” – is completely trivial compared to the actual sacrifices of our men and women in uniform.

I kind of hope some team picks Kaepernick up again. Can’t wait to laugh my way through another 11 loss and 1 win season.

So what? They’re still going to use the dues confiscated from their members’ paychecks to endorse and help cop-hating demonicRATS from coast-to-coast get elected.

A liberal I spoke with said this was like Mark Twain saying don’t trust the government too much. Easing the reasoning out (tgeyre so touchy when you ask them to back up their brainless assertions) what I got out of it is that these people consider the flag to represent government. They don’t separate the government from the founding principles

They are so ignorant.

Didn’t Kaepernick intend to file a lawsuit against the NFL owners for colluding to not hire him? I wonder what happened to that.

“The National Fraternal Order of Police won’t boycott Nike”

Reminds me of the Deep State Repukes first taking “impeachment off the table” whenever the Fraud committed a crime.

Metro union LEO will continue to stand down whenever ordered to do so.

Kaepernick is an outright cop-killers-supporting communist!

Here's the proof...

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers,...

August 30, 2016
FoxNews.com

'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader [communist] Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur [aka, communist-revolutionary JoAnne Chesimard]

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

“With the 49ers visiting the Dolphins this week, San Francisco’s Colin Kaepernick engaged in a conference call with members of the South Florida media. However, one reporter wanted to discuss something that happened in August, when Kaepernick wore a shirt that appeared to show support for Fidel Castro, which led to a tense exchange.

The shirt depicted scenes from a 1960 meeting between Castro and Malcolm X, and it bore the phrase, “Like minds think alike.” Kaepernick wore it to a news conference after the 49ers’ third preseason game, which was when his refusal to stand during the national anthem became a major national story.”

From the Maoist Internationist Movement:
[1960s/original] Black Panther Party [BPP] Archives
From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey [Newton] rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

"Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989) was an African-American political activist and revolutionary who, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. He continued to pursue an education, eventually earning a Ph.D. in social philosophy.[1][2] In 1989 he was shot and killed in Oakland, California. ..."

"As a student at Merritt College in Oakland, Newton became involved in politics in the Bay Area. He joined the Afro-American Association (AAA), became a prominent member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, Beta Tau chapter; and played a role in getting the first African-American history course adopted as part of the college's curriculum.

He read the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X, Mao Zedong, Émile Durkheim, and Che Guevara.

During his time at Merritt College, he met Bobby Seale, and the two organized the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in October 1966.[3]"

Meet the [35] Police Officers Murdered by the Black Panthers [and BP offshoot Black Liberation Army]

The Professional Gunfighter
Posted in: News, Politics, Terrorism

Below are the names and photos of 35 Police Officers who were murdered by the Black Panthers and the subsequent Black Liberation Army in the 60s, 70s and 80s [click link for list and details].

The Black Liberation Army was an organization that grew out of the Black Panther Party, composed of former Black Panther Party members, operating from about 1971-1980. Another two police officers on the list were murdered by the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group with ties to the Black Liberation Army.

Despite this readily available information, today the internet was full of articles criticizing those who were upset by Beyonce’s Super Bowl Halftime performance, and questioning how anyone could be upset over a woman “affirming her blackness.” Their analysis couldn’t have been more off.

We have no issues with someone “affirming their blackness” or any other identity they want to affirm. We do take issue when people pay homage to a group that used terrorism and violence to promote racism and revolutionary socialism – a group that murdered dozens of police officers in cold blood.

As you scroll through the list of officers below, look at their photos and read their stories. Among these officers are black men and white men. Rookies and veterans from across the country. Most were killed in unprovoked attacks and ambushes. They all left behind families….

Perhaps Beyonce, someone from the NFL, and someone representing CBS, could read through this list and tell us if they still stand by their decision to honor the Black Panthers during the Super Bowl. Then perhaps they could explain their answers to the surviving wives and children of these fallen officers. ...”

Nike sells junk and garbage. If you want the good gear go with Under Armour.

These are the cops that supported Bill Clinton over Robert Dole in 96’. It’s as if the Democrats are tougher on crime. It had everything to do with organized labor. Did you know it’s ok for cops to lie when interrogating suspects? SCOTUS approved.

In the early 1970’s, my girlfriend and I (now my wife) were walking through the halls of the student union offices at the University of Oklahoma. A black student organization had the obligatory “Free Huey” poster hanging on their door.

Being a good engineering student, I had a pencil in my pocket. I wrote a message on the border of the poster. I used pencil and made it easily erasable. I respect private property and had never engaged in graffiti. My response: “Prunes will set him Free!”

They actually did not erase it.
