Colin Kaepernick joined the outcry on social media and called for the abolition of the police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The white supremacist institution of policing that stole Breonna Taylor\u2019s life from us must be abolished for the safety and well being of our people,” the former NFL quarterback tweeted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The topic of abolishing or defunding the police has been a topic in 2020 following a string of killings of unarmed Black people at the hands of police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colin Kaepernick’s polarizing tweet drew some critics but it doesn’t come as a surprise considering that he sacrificed his entire NFL career to speak out against police brutality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LeBron James also spoke out against the decision to let the officers that killed Breonna Taylor walk free. “The most DISRESPECTED person on earth is THE BLACK WOMAN! I promise you I\u2019ll do my best to change this as much as I can and even more!! LOVE to you QUEENS all over this country and beyond!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
