“Colin Kaepernick made calls for the Philadelphia district attorney’s office to release Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former member of the Black Panthers who was convicted of killing a police officer in 1981, during a virtual news conference held by supporters on Monday,” according to Fox News and other media outlets.
“The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback argued for Abu-Jamal’s case in a video statement, alleging that he was “framed” for the killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
“‘Mumia has been in prison longer than I’ve been alive,’ Kaepernick said. ‘Since 1981, Mumia has maintained his innocence. His story has not changed.’
“During a routine traffic stop almost 39 years ago, Officer Faulkner stopped a vehicle belonging to Abu-Jamal’s younger brother William Cook. The two got into a physical confrontation and Abu-Jamal, who was in the vicinity and observed the fight, ran over and shot Faulkner in the back and, later, in the face.
“’Mumia was shot, brutalized, arrested and chained to a hospital bed,’ Kaepernick said before alleging that the police department tampered with the investigation.
“‘We’re in the midst of a movement that says Black Lives Matter, and if that’s truly the case, then it means that Mumia’s life and legacy must matter,’ he continued. ‘And the causes that he sacrificed his life and freedom for must matter as well.'”

He should remain in prison as he had no business interrupting the officer doing his job, also he shot the officer first in the back then later in the face. Justice was not done as he should have been given the death sentence.
No! He should not be released!!
No way i n hell should he be released.
PLEASE…..Somebody take this moronic idiot – Colin Kaepernick out behind the Barn.!!! This Guy is ONE of Society’s – Worst Humans.!! Such a PATHETIC PERSON – Makes Me Sick.!!!!!

Colon is trash.He could always try to break out the garbage in prison.That way he could be locked up and be his girlfriend he wants him so much!POSH8T.
Kaepernick is a piece of trash. Put him in jail so he can be by hic cop killing friend. Everybody who watched pro Football should boycot the pro football league. Players that do not respect the American flag should be thrown off the team and given there ticket out of the USA. All Lives Matter!!!!
A mediocre football player at best, Colin is a rasist SOB. He should be working in a car wash with LeBron.
I saw Smerconish on CNN this morning. I believe him.
Who cares what his thoughts and words are. These people think they are something special and they are not!
That crying tity baby needs to be in prison with his buddy. We have enough criminals, rioters,looting, and bullshit people on the streets already. DO NOT RELEASE HIM.
Colin Kaepernick is a piece of trash 🗑 and was only a fair football player at best. The BLM movement is stirring causing domestic terrorism. He has no class wearing that ugly mop on his head. He should be held accountable in a court of law for every person or piece of property that is injured or damaged by BLM. I can tell you that if they ever try to hurt me or my family they will pay the ultimate price. Colin, you are a joke.
Mr. K should demand trading places with the Prisoner. That’s where Mr. K should be!
Appeasrently Mr. Colin don’t know much about history. If he were to sturdy history he would realize that slavery started back in Africa and columbus was not the one that discovered America. there were many black folks that
left Africa many years before Columbus stumbled into america and thought it was india. the blacks intermingled with the so called indian that were of Chinese background and others of Japanese background
some stayed in what is now known as Alaska and some migrated into South America.
it was Africa that sold the first slaves to nearby countries like Rome. they even sold some slaves to the now known as american indians, along all this trading of slaves their came the intermingling. it was after the Brits
came and started developing the 13 original stated that they too started buying slaves.Mr Colin really should study the true history of slavery before he opens his mouth. But i guess that why he gets paid the big bucks so he can stir dodo up from false beliefs.
Danny Faukner was my father’s best friend. He is rolling over in his grave. One has to questions one’s motives to free a convicted anarchist. Oh yea this is the a-hole who knelt for our flag/anthem. It’s painfully obvious no integrity within his myopic view of our country or human life!!!
Leave him in jail that where he belongs
If anything Colin Kaepernick should be in jail himself for enticing uncivil rest and riots. Kaepernick is a piece of shit anyway!!!!!!
Colon——— The Name Fits!!
Colin Kaepernick was a lousy player. They tried to credit him with taking the 49ers to the superbowl. That credit always belonged to Alex Smith. It was all downhill after that. The simple fact is he just wasn’t a very good player. Now he has become a major peice of shit. GET A HAIRCUT, YOU LOOK LIKE A DICK.
No. He should NOT be released
