Colin Kaepernick Calls Police A “White Supremacist Institution” That Should Be Abolished

Colin Kaepernick Reacts To Breonna Taylor Saga

Thousands of civilians have taken to the streets in protest across the nation, following reports of the indictment against Louisville officer Brett Hankison, over the murder of Breonna Taylor.

On Wednesday, the grand jury revealed their decision not to charge any of the officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor — directly with her murder.

Former officer Brett Hankison was indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment and two other officers who opened fire that night were not indicted.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said the three officers had fired 32 shots in the early hours of March 13 in response to a single round fired by Taylor’s boyfriend. Taylor’s boyfriend told the cops that he mistook police for intruders when they broke down the door while they were sleeping.

Former NFL star, Colin Kaepernick, like many others, took to Twitter to share his frustrations with the grand jury’s decision.

“The white supremacist institution of policing that stole Breonna Taylor’s life from us must be abolished for the safety and well being of our people,” the former sports star and activist wrote. “#BreonnaTaylor #SayHerName #AbolishThePolice.”
