Dozens of current and former New York City police officers, including famed corruption whistleblower Frank Serpico, turned out Saturday at a rally in support of getting free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick a job in the National Football League. Spectrum News NY1 (@NY1) Members of #nyc law enforcement joined @JumaaneWilliams in #Brooklyn today to send this message about @Kaepernick7. He admitted not being a football fan, but said he felt it was important to support Kaepernick for his stance. A number of NFL players, including Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, have suggested that Kaepernick is being blackballed by teams for his protest. Kaepernick’s stand against racial injustice has received support among players in a league that is majority African American.
