Navy SEALs Apologize After Video Of K-9 Dogs Attacking 'Colin Kaepernick Stand-In' Surfaces

The Navy SEALs are under fire after a racially insensitive video from the Navy SEAL museum in Fort Pierce, Florida surfaced online.

In the video, which was reportedly captured at a fundraiser for the museum, a military K-9 unit demonstrates its capabilities by chasing down and attacking a man in a Colin Kaepernick jersey.


You can see the video here:


After the video went viral, the Navy issued a statement disavowing the video's contents, saying:

"The inherent message of this video is completely inconsistent with the values and ethos of Naval Special Warfare and the U.S. Navy."

Twitter, however, was not placated by the Navy's official statement.



Many people noted bringing attention to this kind of systemic racism was part of Kaepernick's protest.

It was announced shortly after the video surfaced that the Navy would be investigating the incident.



Twitter thought the people responsible for this demonstration should be held accountable.


Military officers are meant to protect the United States Constitution which includes free speech and the right to protest, not threaten it with violence.


Time will tell what the Navy's investigation turns up or if the people involved with this demonstration face consequences.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
