Colin Kaepernick Calls for Abolition of ‘White Supremacist’ Police

Former NFL player and national anthem protester Colin Kaepernick called for abolishing America’s police departments, which he says, are rooted in “white supremacy.”

Kaepernick recently published a screed against law enforcement on his Medium.com page entitled, “The Demand for Abolition.”

The one-time NFL quarterback exclaimed that American police forces have “roots in white supremacy and anti-blackness.” He added that the “central intent” of law enforcement is to “surveil, terrorize, capture, and kill marginalized populations, specifically Black folks.”

Kaepernick relies on the ahistorical proclamations of black activists who claim that all police in the U.S. were started to keep slaves in chains. The claim that police were little else but glorified slave catchers ignores the fact that the first organized police force was created in 1844 in slave-free New York City. Or that most of the next half dozen after that were in northern states where slavery did not exist.

The multimillion-dollar Nike contract owner went on to say that America’s police cannot be repaired. They have to be completely eliminated.
