Well, blacks are more than twice as likely per capita to be killed by police than are white people, as are Hispanic people. Risking the loss of a career over principle is brave, no matter what the issue, though I see a difference between trying to force other people to not have abortions or fighting for your right to drive a monster truck and trying to make it safer to walk, drive, jog, sleep, birdwatch in your own skin. As a Niner fan for over 60 years I have to disagree about Kaepernick. The Niners owners have made many dumb moves in my life, very few as dumb as firing the first coach and quarterback to took them to their first Super Bowl in decades;)
