FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The U.S. Navy is investigating a video in which military work dogs attacked a “Colin Kaepernick stand-in” during a demonstration at a Navy Seal Museum fundraiser.
The event happened last year at the museum in Fort Pierce, Florida, but the video resurfaced over the weekend.
On Sunday, the U.S. Navy said in a statement that it appears no active-duty personnel were involved.
The videos show dogs attack a man in heavy padding wearing a Kaepernick jersey. Rifle-carrying men in fatigues approach him yelling, “On your belly.” He replies, “Oh, man, I will stand," as the crowd laughs.

In another video, after “Navy SEALs and Navy SEAL dogs take down Colin Kaepernick for not standing during National Anthem,” he moans something like, "Oh man, I will stand” #BecauseFlorida https://t.co/uZ3ervZguB pic.twitter.com/6vi1uCGIt5
