Michigan State Police director busted for Facebook post calling kneeling NFL players anti-American

Michigan State Police director busted for Facebook post calling kneeling NFL players ‘anti-American degenerates’
Tom Boggioni 27 SEP 2017 AT 00:52 ET

The director of the Michigan State Police is under fire after she posted a meme to her Facebook page calling protesting NFL players “degenerates.”

According to the Detroit Free Press, Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue shared the message on Sunday with her social media followers after every team in the NFL protested in some manner following President Donald Trump’s “son of a bitch” attack on former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

The posted meme (seen below) was addressed, “Dear NFL” and slurred the players as “millionaire ingrates who hate America,” adding that they are “arrogant, ungrateful anti-American degenerates.”

for their positions and salaries? They worked damned hard to earn them and are given no credit by these assholes for their hard work and sacrifices. Most of those offering the ugliest criticism couldn't come close to doing what they do.

Worthless critics.

It's white supremacy on display.

The same reason the right/republicans hated President Obama and his awesome first lady.

They stepped out of their 'place' as well.

Yet lately I keep hearing about all these assholes in states other than the south.

What was that guy who used the "no good n" slur on his facebook page? Oh yeah, a Pennsylvanian.

It's all so confusing!

My small community of <30K has enough seething racism to undue a century's worth of progress.

And you're right about the idiot racist fuckhead fire chief right outside of Pittsburgh. Well, former fire chief, since he has apparently resigned.
