According to a report, the Navy is investigating a video that shows dogs attacking a Colin Kaepernick stand-in during a K-9 demonstration at a 2019 fundraiser at the Navy Seals Museum in Florida.
From 97.1 The Ticket:
The videos show four dogs attacking a man, who is wearing a red Kaepernick football jersey over heavily padded gear as people stand nearby watching. In a second video, the man is laying on the ground when he’s approached by men wearing fatigues and holding rifles, saying, “On your belly.” The man replies, “Oh, man, I will stand,” as he rolls over, followed by laughing from the crowd.
The videos were apparently posted on Instagram last year and resurfaced over the weekend.
“The inherent message of this video is completely inconsistent with the values and ethos of Naval Special Warfare and the U.S. Navy,” the statement said.
The Navy said the “initial indications” are that no active duty personnel or equipment were used in the demonstration at the “independent organization’s event.”
Here is video of the incident. If the video in the tweet does not load, please click here.
