Former NFL player Colin Kaepernick has been proven right once again with his kneeling, and it was shown in what happened to Tyreek Hill.
The Miami-Dade Police Department released officers’ bodycam footage of Monday’s incident involving the Miami Dolphins wide receiver.
The footage starts with police officers coming toward Tyreek’s car and informing him that he was speeding.
The officer knocks on the window, and things escalate from there. Tyreek Hill then tells the officer to give him his ticket and rolls the window back up.
The officer demands that Hill keep his window down, but Hill only puts it down a little bit.
“Keep your window down, or I’m going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car,” the officer says.
Colin Kaepernick was right.

Colin Kaepernick Kneeling Is Proven Right After Arrest Of Tyreek Hill
Colin Kaepernick has been proven right.
In 2017, Kaepernick opted out of the final year of his contract amid controversy over his decision to protest police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem.
He was effectively blackballed from the league, as he has not signed a new NFL contract since.
This past weekend, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was arrested by cops, and released cam footage showing the very thing Kaepernick was kneling about, which was the way cops mistreat Black people in this country.
Kaepernick, a second-round pick in the 2011 NFL draft, played six seasons for the San Francisco 49ers.
