According to Fortune Magazine, Colin Kaepernick’s “sit gate” of the national anthem is still causing controversy, now the police union might be planning a protest of their own.
Members of the Santa Clara police union asked the 49ers to take action against Kaepernick or “it could result in police officers choosing not to work at your facilities,” according to a letter obtained by NBC Bay Area.
“I’m already hearing it this week that next week on Monday Night Football, some officers are not going to work,” said Frank Saunders, president of the Santa Clara Police Officers Association, according to NBC Bay Area. “The 49ers are allowing this to come out from an employee and it’s making for a hostile work environment for us at the stadium.”
Kaepernick has defended his protest, responding to critics and telling reporters he is not “anti-American.”
“I realize that men and women of the military go out and sacrifice their lives and put themselves in harm’s way for my freedom of speech and my freedoms in this country and my freedom to take a seat or take a knee, so I have the utmost respect for them,” he said during the 49ers game on Thursday, according to USA Today.
It’s really shocking that the police would be allowed to ‘protest’ doing their jobs in this manner, mainly because their ‘publicized protest’ could put potentially put thousands of fans’ lives in harm’s way. Why make the people suffer for the personal decision of one man? Who’s really being punished here, the man or the people?

Something in the milk just wasn’t clean about the lie story that Chris Brown’s gun accuser, Baylee Curran was telling.
According to Bossip, Brown’s defense attorney is saying that they have proof that the dethroned beauty queen was sharing falsehoods the entire time and there were no guns found in his Hollywood home.
Chris Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, says a woman’s claim Chris pointed a gun at her is nothing more than a false accusation made in hopes of becoming famous.
Geragos addressed the media Friday — and made it clear — he says no guns or drugs were found by cops in the singer’s home. He also stated reports Brown’s 2-year-old daughter, Royalty, was home during the alleged incident are total BS.
It’s interesting … Mark said his office is still investigating the validity of text messages Baylee Curran allegedly sent which show she was trying to set Chris up. Geragos said if it’s found Curran did lie, he’ll call for a criminal investigation against her.
It’s really a shame that someone can just make up a lie and sell it to the tabloids as gospel. Let this be reminder to us all –to keep an eye on the company we keep.
Take the poll and tell me if you think Baylee should be held accountable for her lie(s).
