Colin Kaepernick offers to pay for lawyers for Minneapolis protesters

Colin Kaepernick made his first public comment on the death of George Floyd on Thursday, and on Friday he followed up with action.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who was essentially driven from the NFL for protesting deaths just like Floyd’s, tweeted Friday that he has started a legal defense fund to help people who have been arrested for protesting in Minneapolis. According to the Wall Street Journal, Kaepernick is willing to hire top defense lawyers to defend them.

In fighting for liberation there‘s always retaliation. We must protect our Freedom Fighters.
