Navy SEALs cut ties to national museum after Colin Kaepernick K-9 demonstration video

https://sports.yahoo.com/navy-seals-suspend-support-museum-colin-kaepernick-videos-dog-attack-003506180.html

The Navy SEALs will suspend their support of the National Navy SEAL Museum after videos showing dogs attacking a man wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey during a demonstration last year went viral last weekend, according to the Associated Press.

The National Navy SEAL Museum, located near Fort Pierce, Florida, is a nonprofit organization not overseen by the military.

“Each and every one of us serves to protect our fellow Americans — ALL Americans. Even the perception that our commitment to serving the men and women of this nation is applied unevenly is destructive,” Rear Admiral Collin Green, who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command, wrote in an email to his forces on Monday, according to the Associated Press.
“We will revisit our relationship with the Museum when I am convinced that they have made the necessary changes to ensure this type of behavior does not happen again.”

Video resurfaced on Sunday from a K-9 demonstration at the museum last year that showed dogs attacking a man wearing a Kaepernick jersey. A second video showed the dogs taking the man down, who later said, “Oh man, I will stand” — clearly referencing Kaepernick’s protests during the national anthem, something that has taken off across the sports world in recent weeks.

Yeah. How do you run a Navy SEALs museum that's not supported by the Navy SEALs? Nevilledog Aug 2020 #2

…honor their oath to protect the Constitution and stand up to Trump. Odd to say "stand up" in this thread, but I mean the right kind.
