Adam Garcia, chief of the University of Nevada, Reno police, apologized after one of his officers wore a Halloween costume that mocked free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Twitter user @glaserface brought attention to the costume on social media:
The Reno Gazette Journal's Siobhan McAndrew shared Garcia's statement:
"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.
"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 understanding on how others may negatively view their actions and may be impacted.
