SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The Santa Clara police chief has vowed to continue providing a safe environment at San Francisco home games after the union representing his officers threatened to boycott policing the stadium if the 49ers dont discipline Colin Kaepernick for criticizing police and refusing to stand during the national anthem.Chief Michael Sellers said in a statement Saturday that he will urge union leadership to put citizens safety first.Kaepernicks blanket statements disparaging the law enforcement profession are hurtful and do not help bring the country together, Sellers said. As distasteful as his actions are, these actions are protected by the Constitution.

Amos Brown of Third Baptist Church told the San Francisco Chronicle. He stated his serious opposition to racial oppression and violence in this country, and hes willing to stay true to his conviction. Hes interested in taking this to the next level.The team reiterated Friday night that it stands behind Kaepernick and respects his right not to participate in celebrating the national anthem.About 70 officers from the Santa Clara Police Department patrol Levis Stadium when the 49ers play there.The 49ers will open their season at home against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 12.
