The Chicago Police Department said the officers face a reprimand and a reminder of department policies. Those policies forbid officers from making political statements while in uniform and on duty.
Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police violence against African Americans and systemic racism. Some NFL players have joined his protest.
