How in the hell could this be?
After an outrageously long 11-month investigation into a 15-second incident that was caught on video, an ex-South Carolina cop will not be charged for grabbing a young girl by her neck while she was sitting in her classroom, yanking her out of the desk, tossing her across the room, then handcuffing her ... for having a cellphone in class.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why Colin Kaepernick is not standing for the Star-Spangled Banner.
This is why his teammate Eric Reid joined him.

This is why Jeremy Lane, who plays for the rival Seattle Seahawks, joined both of them.
Ben Fields is a longtime bodybuilder. He was the strength and conditioning coach for the high school football team and he brutally attacked a petite teen girl. The entire nation was outraged over this. The man was fired over this, but the investigation determined "the incident looked worse in the video than it did in the classroom."
Really? It looks worse on video? What does that even mean?
