The U.S. Navy SEALs are investigating a video from a fundraiser last year in Florida that showed a K-9 demonstration using a “Colin Kaepernick stand-in.”
The video was originally posted in January 2019, but didn’t go viral until this past weekend. It showed what appeared to be Navy SEAL dogs attacking a man wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey during a demonstration.
A second video shows the dogs taking the man in the Kaepernick jersey down. Finally, after the dogs are pulled off, the man in the jersey said, “Oh man, I will stand.”
The Navy SEALs announced on Sunday that they have launched a full investigation into the incident, which took place at the national Navy SEAL Museum near Fort Pierce, Florida.

“We became aware today of a video of a Navy SEAL Museum event posted last year with a military working dog demonstration,” the SEALs said in a statement. “In the demonstration, the target is wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey. The inherent message of this video is completely inconsistent with the values and ethos of Naval Special Warfare and the U.S. Navy.
“We are investigating the matter fully, and initial indications are that there were no active duty Navy personnel or equipment involved with this independent organization’s event.”
