Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick launched an initiative Wednesday through his Know Your Rights Camp to offer free autopsies for "victims' families who have lost their loved ones due to a police-related death."
The Know Your Rights Camp will work with board-certified pathologists to provide a "second autopsy, disclosure of preliminary findings and issuance of the final autopsy report."
Kaepernick released a statement about the initiative's effort to help families, according to the Associated Press.
"We know that the prison industrial complex, which includes police and policing, strives to protect and serve its interests at all costs," he said.
