"South Park," not a show to shy away from controversial issues, is back at it in Wednesday's 20th season opener tackling 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest.

Kaepernick, famously sitting through the anthem thus far this NFL season to protest racial inequality, was photographed during an August practice wearing socks featuring pigs as cops.

In the "South Park" anthem remix, elementary school children sing in unison:

"Colin Kaepernick is brave... cops are pigs, cops are pigs

Wait, someone just took my stuff, I need to call the cops

Oh no, I just said 'Cops are pigs'... who's gonna help me get my stuff"
