Reno Police Officer in trouble for Colin Kaepernick Holloween Costume

if some black guy gave you a dirty look, wimp

I don't think someone showing up dressed in rags, with fake rotten teeth in and carrying a Trump sign would have been well received by many.

Or a dead cop costume, they'd probably shoot you for that, but obviously this is ok.

Yes, considering Kaep's hatred of cops what the cop did is perfectly acceptable.

You're one sick puppy.

The picture of cops as pigs on his socks is disgusting. You'd be the first to hide behind a cop if some black guy gave you a dirty look, wimp

I interact with black people every day, do you? Probably not, but you clearly jack it when they get shot. You're clearly mentally ill.

It can't be racist, because the officer is not white according to the left.  It's impossible.

“I can’t be racist! I have black friends interact with black people daily!”

Jeez guys, do we have to turn everything into a political flamewar? I for one think politics should be left out of Halloween altogether (at least when you go trick-or-treating). It's one to debate politics online, it's another to go door-to-door pushing a political agenda on people and then asking them for free candy.

I know you may not like this answer, but yes. Our lives are shaped by politics whether we like it or not, and this goes doubly true for populations that experience discrimination.

Kaepernick is such a moron, he's pretty much a legitimate clown, I don't see why it's bad to dress up as him.

It would be hilarious if someone wore a Kaepernick jersey and then kneeled at everyone's doors. Blackface isn't cool, though.

This x 10

Not the same guy but I saw another thing like that on Instagram. The guy's wearing a fake afro, what looks like blackface (or brownface) and holding a toy football and a cardboard sign reading "UNEMPLOYED! NEED JOB! GOOD ON MY KNEES!"

As previous posters have said, the black face is obviously inappropriate because of the historical implications, but making fun of NFL players is fair game. Kaepernick especially.
