Colin Kaepernick shakes off death threats, seeks justice in Terence Crutcher killing

While Colin Kaepernick says he’s seen positives emerge from a racial-equality movement sparked by his national-anthem protests, he’s also received death threats as a result.

“I’ve had a few come my way, but not too concerned about it,” Kaepernick said Tuesday inside the 49ers locker room.

Asked if those threats have come only through his social-media channels, Kaepernick responded: “Couple different avenues.”

Kaepernick said he does not alert team security in the wake of such threats, because, “to me, if something like that were to happen, you’ve proved my point and it will be loud and clear for everyone why it happened, and that would move this movement forward at a greater speed than what it is even now.

“Granted, it’s not how I want it to happen, but that’s the realization of what could happen. I knew there were other things that came along with this when I first stood up and spoke about it. It’s not something I haven’t thought about.”

Kaepernick condemned Friday night’s fatal shooting of an unarmed Terence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by a police officer. “This is a perfect example of what this is about,” Kaepernick said. “It will be very telling about what happens to the officer that killed him.”

One aspect Kaepernick is taking upon himself is following through on a $1 million pledge to support communities, and he said Tuesday he plans to award $100,000 monthly over the next year to programs he’s currently reviewing, with those distributions posted on a website he’s currently building. The goal is to demonstrate full transparency throughout the process.

“You’ll be able to track it so everyone can see exactly what organizations the money is going to, and making sure that we get an itemized list from these organizations as to what they’re spending the money on to make sure that I’m not only transparent with what I’m doing, but these organizations are transparent about where this money is going as well,” he said.

At the 49ers’ game Sunday in Charlotte, North Carolina, Kaepernick received verbal and visible taunts from fans before and at halftime as he left the field in the 49ers’ eventual 47-26 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

“It’s something they either don’t care about it or they don’t understand it, which i find it very hard that people don’t understand what’s going on,” Kaepernick said. “I think the message has been out there loud and clear for quite some time now.

“There’s a lot of racism disguised as patriotism in this country and people don’t like to address that and they don’t like to address what the root of this protest is. You have players across this country, not only in the NFL but soccer and NBA and high school players, they don’t like to address this issue that people of color are oppressed and treated unjustly. I don’t know why that is or what they’re scared of, but it needs to be addressed.”

Kaepernick said he received positive support while in Charlotte as well, however, and was heartened and encouraged that a white NFL player, Los Angeles Rams’ defensive lineman Chris Long, had come forward to speak about the issue and support his cause. The quarterback said he had a brief conversation with Long recently about it.

“What’s funny to me I saw Chris Long spoke out about it, but no one wants to talk about what he said and him bringing that to the forefront and speaking out against it, because that’s where it gets very touchy,” he said. “Because a white player standing up for this, it’s like OK, `Well, now we really have to address this because it’s not just black people speaking out because they feel like they’re being attacked. No, it’s a real issue, and it’s disproportionately an issue to people of color.’ I think it was huge that Chris stood up and took that stand.”

Kaepernick was harsh in his assessment of the Crutcher killing.

“It’s very interesting to me how the situation that happened (Monday), they shot and killed a man and walked around like he wasn’t a human being,” he said. “People are getting killed and not being treated as human beings. No one went and checked on him, no one tried to resuscitate him, nothing. They walked around, went about their business and made up lies to cover up their murder that they just committed. That’s not right, and they should be in prison.”

Kaepernick said the awareness he has trying to engender the past several weeks has grown beyond him and that he’s starting to feel momentum for the movement.

“I think other people picking up on the protest and speaking out about it from high school to activists to pro athletes, I think is huge,” he said. :I think as the conversations continue in these communities, more and more solutions are going to come up as to how to fix this as quickly as possible. That’s ultimately the goal.”

A lot of these cops should be on rubber gun status. Not fit to carry a real gun around becuase they are all scared and shit. This woman should go to jail for manslaughter at the very least.

 

[Brother_Five]

Only an elite unit of officers should be authorized to carry guns

Dear IC brethren,

This is my clarion call to put an end to state sponsored black genocide.

I'm proposing a Presidential election voting "blackout." We stand in solidarity with utter disgust watching unarmed black men get gunned down.

For this reason, these two candidates don't deserve our vote. Neither candidate has put forth a comprehensive plan to address police brutality in their platform.

We should still vote on the down ballots (local and congressional races) but abstain from the Presidential election.

Until our collective voices are heard, these two candidates don't deserve our support.

How many more black people have to get murdered by the state? How many 12 & 14 year old black kids playing with toy guns will get murdered by the state?

The only thing that gets these politicians attention is money & votes. We have more voting power than money, so in my view that's the best course of action to get our voices heard.

The dukester

Lowering the amount of people voting in the presidential election will effectively help Donald Trump, so even if you are not participating, you are participating.

"He looks like a bad dude"

That line man. I can't stop thinking about it. He looks like a normal person in need of help. The only 'bad' they saw was his black skin. Depressing shit.

that dude should lose his job too.

 

[semi-auto-mato]

cops need way more training. cops should not be able to fire unless fired upon. I pay enough in taxes so they can afford body armor and helmets. I rather my taxes go towards that than paid fucking leave. im busting my ass (ok not really im typing here) to pay FICA and the government and these fuckers get 20k in ot plus raises. this bitch gonna be a fucking capt. when this shit is over.

 

[Brother_Five]

U can't train someone to not be a racist coward... or it would be too expensive to try it

 

[StoneColdMikey]

I'm so tired of the same song and dance...

Apparently the killers husband.

They can literally say anything....

Doesn't have to be true...

As long as there is a willing ear to believe, tons of bullshit deviating discussions will be opened and the main topic(s) of discussion will get drowned in the confusion.

I think they already take psych tests. But they might be better off doing what the FBI do and take college graduates only. The police now are mostly just ex-military dudes, or guys that have a high school diploma and that's it. Basically if they weren't cops they'd be working construction or something. Basically good ole boys and dumb-fucks. Someone that goes through college has some experience with critical-thinking and more exposure to other cultures too.

Black people have never been known to do PCP. Try again.

In LA, yeah.

But it's besides the point.

lol. Autopsy will show if he was or wasn't on pcp. It's irrelevant but will be enough for some racists to say "see, he was dangerous." He was also 40+ and coming from a community college music appreciation course. Even that is probably enough for racists to write him off.

People that don't know shit think that pcp automatically turns you into a psycho killer that is unstoppable and can punch through brick walls and shit. most people that do pcp and just getting high and enjoying it I'd assume.

 

[Copper]

He has PCP in his glove compartment of his car that I don't know about.... Shoot him

I dunno. It's hit and miss I guess. I never messed with that stuff.

I saw a guy who was high off sherm (PCP cigarette) literally slam his head on the hood of a car several times when describing how the police slammed another persons head on the car the day before.

I know another guy who ripped off all his clothes and ran down the street.

Again, even if the guy had PCP in the glove box which could very well be a lie, it doesn't mean it's a factor here at all.
