Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick posted a tweet Thursday advocating for a "revolt" after four Minnesota police officers were fired for their involvement in the death of George Floyd.
"When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction," the tweet read. "The cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears, because your violence has brought this resistance. We have the right to fight back! Rest in Power George Floyd"
The city of Minneapolis has been in a state of unrest since video of police officer Derek Chauvin pinning down and choking Floyd with his knee was released.
