[PJ] Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell apologized Monday for posting an Instagram illustration of a police officer having his throat slit by a hooded figure.
Crowell removed the image shortly after posting it.
The post's caption read: "They give police all types of weapons and they continually choose to kill us....#Weak"
In a statement, Crowell said it was an "extremely poor decision" in response to police shooting and killing Alton Sterling and Philando Castile last week. The post was made before five Dallas police officers were killed last Thursday, according to Cleveland.com.
Appears local police threatened to pull protection from Cleveland's FirstEnergy Stadium. |
