A photograph of the officers, each down on one knee, along with a woman believed to be Aleta Clark, an anti-violence activist in Englewood, was posted on the “@englewoodbarbie” Instagram account on Sunday, along with the words:

“That Moment when you walk into the police station and ask the Men of Color are they Against Police Brutality and Racism & they say Yes… then you ask them if they support Colin Kapernick [sic]… and they also say yes… then you ask them to Kneel!”

The photograph was taken inside the 6th District police station. It had gotten 1,771 likes and 62 comments by Monday afternoon.
