Just under a month after Colin Kaepernick chose to stay seated (http://mashable.com/2016/08/29/colin-kaepernick-national-anthem/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) during the National Anthem before a pre-season game, the athlete brought his protest against police brutality to the high school football field.
The 49ers quarterback attended a football game at Castlemont High School in Oakland, California on Friday, kneeling during the National Anthem as members of the team laid on their backs with their hands raised. Their protest comes in the immediate wake of recent police shootings in Charlotte, **rth Carolina (http://mashable.com/2016/09/21/facebook-live-video-keith-scott-charlotte-police-shooting/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) and Tulsa, Oklahoma (http://mashable.com/2016/09/19/terence-crutcher-tulsa-police-investigation-department-of-justice-video/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial).
