The union for police officers who work San Francisco home games says its members may boycott policing the stadium if the 49ers don't discipline Colin Kaepernick for refusing to stand during the national anthem and for his statements about law enforcement. A letter from the Santa Clara Police Officers Association sent to the 49ers was obtained Friday by KNTV-TV, the NBC affiliate in San Jose. About 70 officers from the Santa Clara Police Department patrol Levi's Stadium when the 49ers play there. Veterans and military members tweeted their support for Kaepernick in recent days under the hashtag "VeteransForKaepernick." The team reiterated Friday night that it stands behind Kaepernick and respects his right not to participate in celebrating the national anthem.
