Both . . .


. . . ways . . .



(from http://thefederalist.com/2016/09/07/first-amendment-double-edged-sword-kaepernick-rapinoe/)
". . . As far as the members’ (Santa Clara Police Officers’ Association) second job at the stadium (49ers’ home stadium) goes, this is true. But phrased as an absolute right, it makes the average citizen question the union’s commitment to non-discriminatory policing. Citizens should respect the police, who put their lives on the line to maintain order and safety in our communities. But the idea that they have a right to do their job without criticism—that anyone has such a right—is ludicrous. . . Police officers have every right to disagree with Kaepernick’s statements and actions. Kaepernick, for his part, has the same right to disagree with the police. And while SCPOA members have the right to quit their second jobs as private security for the 49ers, their union should be careful about establishing a precedent that they have the right to work free of criticism. If they want to quit, they should quit, and let the 49ers hire new security guards. But they, and we, should also remember that the First Amendment runs both ways . . . "
