Police Threaten to Boycott 49ers Games - chairman - 09-04-2016
The Santa Clara police union threatened to boycott policing the stadium where the San Francisco 49ers play as a protest of quarterback Colin Kaepernick's criticism of police brutality in the United States. Chief Michael Sellers responded by asserting that they will put people's protection first and ensure a safe environment at the games. “The board of directors of the Santa Clara Police Officer’s Association has a duty to protect its members and work to make all of their working environments free of harassing behavior,†he wrote in a letter.

Well that is pretty interesting. I am not sure that I have ever heard of anything like this, but I am guessing that if people had to choose the police presence of not, they are going to want to have police there for security reasons. I think that they have a point, and they think he is making an unfair claim about a profession, and I kind of agree. Interesting stuff, and thanks for sharing.
