Look man, the rivalry died when Harbaugh left. The Seahawks see the 49ers as their little brother now. They're gonna rough house the 49ers every now and then but they'll always have their back when it comes to the important things.

I think it's more the shared trauma of both losing a SB because they chose to pass instead of run.

Also are Santa Clara cops afraid of being assaulted with tofurkey dogs at games or something

They just really enjoy their police brutality, and were probably inspired by Kaepernick to stand up for what they believe in.

Wouldn't it be a bigger statement of the police to come out and say "We'll continue to provide protection for the 49ers games, and Kaep can continue to say what he likes. We're here to protect and serve regardless of what some of the people we're protecting think of us." rather than "YOU HURT OUR FEELINGS! We're taking our ball and going home!"?

Although the protective order did mandate an arrest, or an arrest warrant, in so many words, Justice Scalia said, "a well-established tradition of police discretion has long coexisted with apparently mandatory arrest statutes."

Check their "current projects" page. That's a lovely mission statement, but apparently it only goes so far as buying body armor for police? Founded in June of this year, sooooo.

The formation of the Green Bay Police Foundation was officially launched today at a press conference during active shooter training in Green Bay. The first initiative that was discussed was the immediate need for ballistic helmets and ballistic tactical vests to allow officers more safety when responding to high risk calls such as active shooters, parties with firearms, etc. Members of the media were allowed to record officers training in active shooter scenarios, and the Green Bay Police live streamed the event via their Facebook page.

So I think, again, he’s shedding light on a situation that is heinous. And shouldn’t happen in this country. We all have inalienable rights as a citizen and this country and they’re being violated.
