    Shaun King Retweeted ACLU of Rhode Island

    Wow. North Smithfiled, Rhode Island just passed an anti-Colin Kaepernick resolution. In it they ban Nike products and actually have multiple factual errors. It's a very gross sign of our times.https://twitter.com/RIACLU/status/1041862001008537600 …

    Shaun King added,

    ACLU of Rhode Island @RIACLU
    Shame on the N. Smithfield Town Council for passing an inflammatory anti-Colin Kaepernick resolution tonight by a 3-2 vote. After reading it, it is now clear why they refused to release it to the public in advance. Rhode Island is better than this. https://bit.ly/2PKLR87

        Imagine if these folks showed the same kind of organized outrage to demonstrate that #BlackLivesMatter. People might not need to #TakeAKnee in the first place.

        I'm sorry Shaun. I live in North Smithfield. The entire town did not want this. All of the students at school wore Nike today in protest.

        And apparently every citizen from the town who spoke at the meeting opposed the resolution. Typical Rhode Island politics at its worst. Another news item to embarrass the good people who live in this state.

        It's not about banning a global brand as much as it's about branding their town and what it's about. Let them put themselves on blast for the world to see.

        You’d think that if they cared so much about police officers dying in the line of duty that they vaguely quoted the statistic, they’d ban all motor vehicles and guns, historically the #1 and #2 killers of cops on duty. For the record, the number of cops killed by Kaepernick: 0
