They were.
I don’t see why this cop should be liable to everyone he injured with this BS.
My problem with Colin Kapernick has never been that he is wrong about there being bad cops out there.
There are.
My problem with him is that he chose to express his opinions by taking a crap all over the US Flag and National Anthem. He does not seem to grasp that many good men and women died fighting under that flag to protect his right to criticize the police.
And that he seems to believe that ALL cops are bad.
But denying that there are bad actors who need to be weeded out of police forces is just sticking your head in the sand.
