      XPost: alt.politics.radical-left, alt.journalism.newspapers, alt       politics.usa.republican       XPost: alt.culture.alaska       From: nigger-lovers@disney.com              The U.S. Navy SEALs are investigating after video surfaced from       a fundraiser last year in Florida that showed a K-9       demonstration using a “Colin Kaepernick stand-in.”              The video — which was posted last January, but went viral this       weekend — shows what appear to be Navy SEAL dogs attacking a man       wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey during a demonstration.              A second video shows the dogs taking the man in the Kaepernick       jersey down. Finally, after the dogs are pulled off, the man in       the jerseys said, “Oh man, I will stand.”              Laughter ensued from the crowd, clearly taking his statement as       a joke regarding Kaepernick’s protests during the national       anthem.                     Kaepernick first started kneeling during the national anthem in       2016 while he was with the San Francisco 49ers. He hasn’t played       in the league since that season, and received immense backlash       for his protest — which was used to bring attention to social       and racial injustice in the United States.              That form of protesting has taken off in recent months, with NBA       players and coaches, Major League Baseball players and both MLS       and NWSL players participating in their respective season       restarts. Countless NFL players have already committed to       kneeling during their season this fall, too.              Launching a full investigation       The Navy SEALs announced on Sunday that they have launched a       full investigation into the incident, which took place at the       national Navy SEAL Museum near Fort Pierce, Florida.              After condemning the incident, the organization said it believes       that none of the people participating were active duty Navy       personnel.                     “We became aware today of a video of a Navy SEAL Museum event       posted last year with a military working dog demonstration,” the       SEALs said in a statement. “In the demonstration, the target is       wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey. The inherent message of this       video is completely inconsistent with the values and ethos of       Naval Special Warfare and the U.S. Navy.              “We are investigating the matter fully, and initial indications       are that there were no active duty Navy personnel or equipment       involved with this independent organization’s event.”              https://news.yahoo.com/navy-seals-investigating-colin-kaepernick-       jersey-k9-dog-demonstration-florida-protests-national-anthem-       222506467.html                      --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
