Kaepernick gets open invite to attend Alameda County Sheriff's training academy

Ray Kelly said Tuesday, a day after the Sheriff's Office posted an open invitation for Kaepernick to attend one of its training academies in Dublin, and in particular, the department's "Use of Force" simulator."We're always talking in this country about the need for more dialogue, well, this is a teachable moment for Colin Kaepernick," Kelly said.
