The US Navy SEALs department have come under investigation following some shocking videos that showed a man dressed in Colin Kaepernick’s San Franciso 49ers jersey being attacked by K-9 dogs. The videos were initially released in January last year during a Navy SEAL Museum fundraiser but went viral over the weekend. Upon conclusion of all the demonstrations, the dogs were pulled off the man, who is then heard saying, “Oh man, now I will stand.”

Navy SEAL Museum event: Navy SEAL dog attack on man with Colin Kaepernick jersey

The shocking footage of a man wearing Colin Kaepernick's jersey during a Navy SEAL Museum event last year has gone viral on social media. In the first video, the man, identified as Josh, is seen wearing protective gear and a Colin Kaepernick jersey on top of it all. Josh is then attacked by four K-9 dogs in a demonstration for onlookers gathered at the event. One at a time, the four dogs are unleashed as they grab onto Josh's gear, mauling his arm.

In the second video, another K-9 dog is seen attacking Josh while he's laying on the floor, still wearing the protective gear and Colin Kaepernick's jersey. Finally, once the dog is released off Josh and the military exercise is complete, he can be heard saying, "Oh man, now I will stand". Laughter ensured from the crowd, possibly mocking Colin Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the national anthem.

Colin Kaepernick first started kneeling during the national anthem in back in 2016 when he was with the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old played as a quarterback for the 49ers from 2011 to 2016 but was axed after his silent protests against racial injustice in the country. However, over the past few months, a number of athletes in the MLB, MLS and NBA have opted to kneel during the Star-Spangled Banner, backing Kaepernick's initial gesture.
