Bennett has been one of Colin Kaepernick’s most vocal allies in the NFL and has spoken out against police brutality and justice inequality for the past few years.
Kaepernick, who has been quiet throughout the offseason, took to Twitter to comment on Bennett’s encounter with the police.
This violation that happened against my Brother Michael Bennett is disgusting and unjust. I stand with Michael and I stand with the people. pic.twitter.com/TqXFiso6lk
