To Colin Kaepernick, from a LE officer
[bZep] From the Massachusetts Coalition of Police, on Facebook:PLEASE do your best to SHARE this post, since it needs to be read. By Chris Amos, a retired Norfolk Police Officer who wrote the following: An Open Letter to Colin Kaepernick Dear Colin, Guess you have been pretty busy these last few days. For the record I don’t think any more or less of you for not standing for the National Anthem. Honestly, I never thought that much about you, or any professional athlete for that matter, to begin with. I’ve read your statement a few times and want you to know I am one of the reasons you are protesting. You see I am a retired police officer that had the misfortune of having to shoot and kill a 19-year-old African American male. And just like you said, I was the recipient of about $3,000 a month while on leave which was a good thing because I had to support a wife and three children under 7-years-old for about 2 months with that money. Things were pretty tight because I couldn’t work part time. Every police officer I’ve ever known has worked part-time to help make ends meet. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-08-31 |
