Leftists are having a meltdown after a University of Nevada police officer dressed as Colin Kaepernick for Halloween.
And an apology from the police chief has apparently not satisfied their offended hearts.
Officer Antonio Gutierrez, from Kaepernick’s alma mater, dressed as the former San Franciso 49ers quarterback and the photo was all over social media as liberals cried for his head. Gutierrez sported a homemade Kaepernick jersey, an afro, fake nose and a sign declaring “will stand for food.”

Obviously a jab at the former NFL quarterback who has been out of work since his national anthem protest last year against alleged oppression of racial minorities, Gutierrez’s Halloween party costume sparked demands for an apology and cries of racism, though it is not clear what was racist in the attire.
hey @unevadareno! one of your officers, Antonio Gutierrez, decided to go as a racist portrayal of #Kaep last night. this isn’t ok!! pic.twitter.com/eCnYFcauxn

It’s not racist, but then again to liberals anything they don’t like can’t be linked to racism. You’re a total fool.

What is racist about it? He’s not in blackface. The nose is caucasian. Is it racist to dress as a caricature of Kaepernick?

Kaepernick wore socks w/ pigs dressed as cops. Cops aren’t a race. Kaep is half white, just as the cop is. You definition of racism is wrong
— J.P. Scott (@TheJPScott) October 31, 2017
Colin Kaepernick is half white and he was raised by white parents, failing to recognize this is racist.

Anyone who says his costume is racist is disingenuous at best. Keep race baiting. You can now trip over the bar set for who’s a racist.

The Chief of the University of Nevada, Reno Police Department swiftly issued an apology on behalf of Officer Gutierrez, calling the Halloween costume “insensitive.”

“For those who have seen the Halloween costume of one of our officers apparently mocking a citizen who has chosen to take advantage of his constitutional right to protest, I offer my sincere apologies,” Chief Adam Garcia said, according to TMZ Sports.
“Members of our profession are held to a higher standard and denigrating another — on or off duty — is insensitive for its lack of respect and lack of understanding on how others may negatively view their actions and may be impacted,” Garcia wrote.
It’s on his own time. He didn’t do anything wrong. Krapernick disrespected the flag on tv and never apologized. So don’t go there.

No apology necessary. It’s a costume.

The cop is an American citizen and has the Constitutional right to freedom of expression. @Kaepernick7 is a satirical character. He’s famous

Critics condemned the “lame apology” and demanded more.
But there has been no further action against the police officer and his costume choice for a Halloween party.
“We have no policy that would dictate any disciplinary action,” TMZ was told when asked if Gutierrez would be punished.
Wonder what would have happened to an officer wearing a Donald Trump costume.
Twitter users raked the sensitive liberals over the coals for their “mock outrage” and demands to squelch the officer’s free speech. They also gave Gutierrez a virtual round of applause.

He called cops pigs, and you’re surprised when a cop mocks him? “Racist portrayal”? This is so stupid, and over the top

My hero! Kapernick made his bed now sleep in it.

You kneel because Kap is mocked? He’s becoming a punchline, so why so upset? You bunch of girls

Wah wah. If you’re going to incite division like this people are going to mock you pic.twitter.com/r0WEy889mJ

Just because it’s not something we would do, does not make it completely wrong. When Eddie Murphy played a white Jewish man in a movie, did you think that was wrong? Or when the Wayan brothers did entire movie as white chicks. It’s humor.

Is Kaperknick a national treasure that can’t be mocked? Who started that rule?

Wasn’t it Kaperdick who wore socks depicting cops as pigs? Bravo to this officer. Hilarious.
