Jefferson County sheriff condemns NFL star Kaepernick, says he's now on 'no watch' list

The Jefferson County sheriff has said San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is on his "no watch" list after the football star decided not to stand for the national anthem.

After a week of heated debates surrounding the player's act of protest, Sheriff Oliver "Glenn" Boyer said in a statement on sheriff's department letterhead that he doesn't support the player's "disgusting display."

"To voice his opinion off the field, I have no problem with and it would have been a lot more appropriate and something I could have supported, but to dishonor our National Anthem and those that put their lives on the line to give him the opportunity to play football was out of line," Boyer wrote in the statement, dated Tuesday.

Boyer went on to say that he thinks Kaepernick should trade in his football gear for military armor in order to understand the importance of the nation's song. His letter mentions other players, such as the late Pat Tillman, a football player who left his sports career to join the armed forces after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. He died in Afghanistan in a friendly fire incident.

The Jefferson County sheriff is among others who seek an apology from the player. But Kaepernick asserts that his expression was an act of freedom of speech, one meant to show solidarity with movements condemning police brutality and supporting civil rights.

Kaepernick is one of a number of professional athletes, including professional basketball players Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, who have used their celebrity to make a statement about contested social issues.

The football star was the target of more criticism on Thursday over a photo showing him wearing socks depicting pigs in police hats. He took to Instagram Thursday in an attempt to explain himself and saying he didn't want the socks to "distract from the real issues."

Kaepernick said he plans to sit during the national anthem again during his team's game against the San Diego Chargers Thursday night, according to a CNN report.

why is in not illegal for a cop to openly state they will not protect and serve every citizen? this proves colin's point and no one says a thing when the cops say stuff like stuff. wtf do u mean he is on a no watch list? nigga ur job is to protect everyone...those that say blue lives matter and those that say fuck the police. the cops shouldn't even be allowed to voice their opinion on this shit.

Uh, because if you click on the link and get the context. He says he added the 49ers to his no watch list. lol

U do see the ? In my post right? It doesn't matter if he said 49ers Colin or anyone else. Wtf is a no watch list and why cops responding on official letterhead demanding apologies from folks? That is not their job. Their job is to protect and serve their community regardless of how they feel. The nigga not even in Cali so doubt San Francisco is his game of the week. Again I ask wtf do u mean a no watch list?

Wow.

So it doesnt matter the context, just how you want to re-imagine his words to be? I mean, that something special there.

This is why nothing can get done in America. Everyones too fucking stupid, and then the dummies use the same tactics of the other dummies to attack each other. Im sure if someone took your words out of context to paint you as participating in something youre not, youd be livid, but since it fits your agenda to do it to someone else, its cool.

But its cool, youre right. He doesnt just mean hes not going to watch the 49ers anymore, as if its abnormal for football fans to watch all the games they can during the season. This is some deeper shit than that. LOL

You the type of dude to argue the sky aint blue, even though you can look up and see it.

nigga u sound crazy. everyone is stupid but u huh?

first it does him no good to boycott the 49ers. he is not in their marketing dma so he cant hurt their dollars. folks will still advertise with them. it would be different if he tried to start a boycott of his marketing dma or a the nfl as a whole. so wtf is he writing this letter on department letterhead? he is a fan so he should post on facebook. this is an official letter that makes u wonder. if cops are holding grudges like this what else are they refusing to do?

are they refusing to police certain neighborhoods properly cause a co worker got punched by someone that lives there and the neighborhood didn't apologize? are they refusing to properly do their job because muslims are the face of 9/11? a cop should never ask a person, team, singer (beyonce), public official, or anyone else to apologize because they don't agree with their views. if a black lives matter protest walked down main street and he feels they are the cause for the dallas shooting his job is to still be there and protect those folks. when police/sheriff officers do shit like this u have to question this shit.

u are the reason black folks cant get anywhere. its always a nigga like u on fox talking about black folks gotta do better. nah nigga we need y'all to stop apologizing with all that but but that's not what the good white folk mean shit.

Well youre bringing up two different matters, but you have to deflect in order to save face. Its understandable.

I simply pointed out that what you think he said, and what you thought the context of "No watch list" was, was wrong. I didnt agree that he should be upset with colin. I didnt agree on any stance against colin. I didnt say that no officers dont take their personal bias and opinions out on the people they should be protecting and serving equally under law.

IM HOLDING BACK BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA YALL. Dont correct another black man for being wrong. Let these niggas just be wrong all they want for eternity.

One day when youre not surrounded around a bunch of stupid motherfuckers, or motherfuckers who just argue factually incorrect shit as the truth. That day when you step to someone that took that time when you didnt, and they make you look like a damn fool. You will realize the value in making sure you take a few extra steps to get the details right first.

Im calling you stupid because after proving you wrong, you still disagree. You refuse to be wrong. Thats mindbogglingly stupid to do, because you wouldnt want someone to do it to you.

Excuse my holier than thou attitude at times, but we're not winning any battles by arming each other with bad information.

 

[semi-auto-mato]

u a funny dude smh. u will take on this whole forum arguing a point while everyone else tells u that ur view is wrong but im trying to save face lmao. If I am wrong I will say I stand corrected, my bad, I didn't know that, or something of that nature. u calling niggas stupid because they don't walk in the forum and say let's wait until after the investigation is done. no nigga I don't think like u.

enough has gone on for me in all my stupidity to know that this shit means more than dude is not watching the 49ers play the rams. I am stupid enough to know that if that was what he was trying to say there was no reason for him to put it on department letterhead. I am stupid enough to remember that police departments, the police union, and public officials have released statements that should make us all question their ability to do their job. I mean damn I am a cowboy fanatic but i am pretty sure my company would have an issue with me writing a letter on company letterhead talking about im not gonna watch a football anymore cuz of this shit.

i asked what is a no watch list and then i went on to state my feelings that cops should not be able to refuse to protect and serve. that i feel shit like this should be illegal. it is on department letterhead. ur argument is he said the 49ers are on a no watch list meaning tv. ur right im wrong he did say the 49ers but i still ask what is a no watch list because as stupid as i am i realize he cannot hurt the 49ers organization by refusing to watch their games in Missouri. how many games do they actually get where he lives?

he has to be able to act a certain way, understand different views, and not let it interfere with his job performance. his first mistake was putting it on company letterhead. his second mistake is saying no watch list. the word watch means too many different things in the police world. the fact that it is on department letterhead seems like this is some type of call to action from all his boys in blue. this shit has gone national and he gave no specifics about what no watch really is.

recently the police have done way too much speaking out about shit. the beyonce performance, the black lives matter movement but they aint saying shit about all these damn shootings. that nigga a write no one a letter talking about how he refuses to wear the same uniform as all these cops. he didn't write a letter talking about how police departments need to get it together. that is the type of shit that should be on department letterhead.

u defending that mutha phucka by calling me stupid and saying im trying to save face. check ya self nigga!

o yeah im sorry for any false information i have given in this thread or any other thread. i never intended to do that. please accept my apology

[playmaker88]

I hate when people act like the sports arena is not the place for politics. Cuz the co-opting of service members after 9/11 tells me otherwise.

or when people say the timing is wrong lol.. its always time..the right time is always NOW to speak out..and politics is in everything....

any for/ against yes or no.. any damn discussion... POLITICS.

 

[Recaptimus_Prime360]

Seen this on fb

Protestors riot: These people need to learn how to protest peacefully!! There has to be a better way!!

Protestors sit out during playing of national anthem: This is outrageous! There has to be a better way!!

Protestors sit in at whites only restaurant: I'm outraged that they could be so inconsiderate of people on their lunch hour!! There has to be a better way!

Protestors raise a black fisted glove on medal podium at olympics: The games are about unity, stop trying to divide us!! There has to be a better way!!

Protestors march during rush hour stopping traffic: Gah! Why do they have to do it this way? I'm on my way to work!! There has to be a better way!!

Protestors put hands up in solidarity before St. Louis Rams game: Ugh! Inappropriate! Shut up and play the game!! There has to be a better way!!

Protestors wear t-shirts that read "I can't breathe," before a sporting event: This isn't the platform for that, respect the game. There has to be a better way!!

Protestors make passionate speech on BET: That's reverse racism. All lives matter! There has to be a better way!!

Protestors disrupt political rally: ugh! We're not here to see you speak!

Look, at a certain point, people are going to need to admit to themselves that they're not upset about how black people are protesting, they are upset that black people are protesting.

Bothers me to hear other athletes/analysts say they support what he's doing, but he should've did it a different way. Is there a "The Proper Way To Protest" guide book that's out there I'm not aware of?? B/c last I check, there is NO set standard on how one should protest.

 

[kingblaze84]

I hope he gets the starting job back and plays great this season. That would be even funnier to watch. Lmao.
