The Navy Seal Museum is going to have answer some questions after a disturbing video surfaced on the Internet.
On Sunday,journalist Billy Corben uncovered a video taken at the Navy Seal Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida that shows a Colin Kaepernick stand in getting attacked by 5 Navy SEAL dogs for not standing during the National Anthem during a fundraiser.

Another video shows the Kaepernick stand-in getting attacked by the dogs for not standing during the anthem.
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

People were obviously angry with the video and are calling for the Navy Seal Museum to issue a statement condemning the demonstration.

Everyone involved in this should be ashamed of it for the rest of their lives. https://t.co/HSuT1etbjN

This appears to reflect stunningly poor judgement on the part of the @NavySEALMuseum. I hope they will quickly explain and appologize. https://t.co/9RYXU741L7

Rick Kaiser, USN (Ret) is the director of @NavySEALMuseum. Under his leadership, they felt that the best way to raise money was to set dogs on a black man fighting for equality as theatre.#BecauseFlorida https://t.co/fbET91OLAB
