The U.S. Navy SEALs have launched a probe of videos appearing to show dogs from the elite special

The U.S. Navy SEALs have launched a probe of videos appearing to show dogs from the elite special force attacking a man in a Colin Kaepernick jersey as part of a demonstration.

In one video, the dogs attack the man serving as a "stand-in" for the former 49ers quarterback, who began kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality in 2016, who was wearing his jersey.

In the second, he is heard saying “Oh man, I will stand” after they knock him down and are pulled off, prompting laughter from spectators.

The video was filmed last year at a fundraiser in Fort Pierce, Fla., and posted online in January, but only circulated widely over the weekend, Yahoo News reported.

I'd really like to see these immature fuckers drummed out of the service.

message. If you admire the Seals, then you want Kaepernick and kneelers to be ripped by dogs.

Good that the Navy is investigating, because it's going to take more than the "no active duty Navy personnel or equipment involved with this independent organization's event."
