From the Daily Mail:
Colin Kaepernick warns of a revolt in the wake of George Floyd's death
Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback-turned-civil rights figure Colin Kaepernick is calling revolution 'the only logical reaction' to the violent arrest and subsequent death of Minnesota man George Floyd.
'When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction,' Kaepernick tweeted Thursday, three days after Floyd's death. 'The cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears, because your violence has brought this resistance. We have the right to fight back! Rest in Power George Floyd.'
Four police officers in Minneapolis were fired Tuesday after the video went viral, showing one cop kneeling on the 46-year-old Floyd's neck as he cried out for help, saying he couldn't breath. Floyd is ultimately seen passing out and he was later declared dead at a local hospital.
The four cops fired after Monday's incident have been officially identified as Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, Tou Thao, and J. Alexander Kueng.
Floyd was being arrested for allegedly using forged documents at a local deli. His family has called for the four officers to be charged with murder. The FBI is investigation the death for a possible civil rights violation.
Kaepernick is far from the only athlete condemning the killing.
LeBron James shared his anger on Instagram, posting a picture of Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem as a member of the 49ers in 2016 to raise awareness about inequality and racist police brutality.
James's caption explained that tragedies like the one in Minnesota were why Kaepernick took a knee.
