San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick used his Instagram account Wednesday to post a video of the apparent shooting of Alton Sterling, 37, by police officers in Baton Rouge, La., and call the shooting "what lynchings look like in 2016."
The shooting, which has triggered outrage and protests since the video began circulating on social media, appears to have been recorded by a witness. An autopsy determined that Sterling, a black man, died from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and back, according to CNN.
Kaepernick, whose mother is white and father is black, writes in his post with the graphic video: "This is what lynchings look like in 2016!
