Colin Kaepernick Initiative offers free autopsies to family members of ‘police-related’ deaths

Colin Kaepernick It will provide free secondary autopsies to family members of people whose deaths are deemed “politically related”.

The autopsy is part of a new initiative by Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp and will team up with board-certified pathologists and autopsies, according to the KTVU.

According to the report, the pathologists will conduct the autopsies and reveal the preliminary findings as well as the final reports to the families who request them.

“We know that the prison industrial complex, which houses the police and the police, strives to protect and serve its interests at all costs,” Kaepernick said. “The autopsy initiative is an important step toward ensuring family members have access to accurate and forensically verifiable information about the cause of their loved one’s death in a time of need.”

When Colin Kaepernick got on his knees during the national anthem to take a stand against police brutality, racial injustice and social inequality, he was discredited by people who saw it as a crime against the state, the flag, and the military. After nearly four years, it seems more people are starting to support Kaepernick’s peaceful protest and are now calling out those who don’t understand the intent of his work.

Dr. Cyril Ficht, the program’s pathology coordinator, said the program’s forensic experts will perform the autopsies.

“I am extremely excited about this truly unique programme. The opportunity to conduct an unbiased second autopsy by independent and experienced forensic pathologists with experience in police related deaths will provide the families of the victims with the knowledge that the true facts of any such case have been thoroughly analyzed and ready for appropriate use whenever necessary.”
