Colin Kaepernick's Actions Spark Reactions in Sports and Social Media Communities.

TL;DR
The family of Lashawn Thompson, who was found dead in his Georgia jail cell last year covered in bedbugs, lice, and roaches, is seeking justice and pushing for a federal investigation into the conditions of the facility. Thompson's body had more than 1,000 bites on his face, eyes, neck, ears, and body. The Fulton County Sheriff called the death an "inexcusable and unconscionable tragedy" and accepted the resignation of key Fulton County Jail leaders. Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has offered to pay for an independent autopsy to be conducted in the case. U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff has launched an inquiry to strengthen the oversight of jails.
