He posted it Wednesday, before the cops were murdered in Dallas on Thursday.

Quote:CLEVELAND, Ohio — Browns running back Isaiah Crowell plans to apologize Monday for posting a drawing of a police officer having his throat slashed on Instagram, a league source told cleveland.com.

The person slashing the officer's throat is wearing a black jacket and hood with is face covered. He's wearing black gloves, has an ankh pendent around his neck and an American flag backpack on. Blood is spurting out of the officer's neck and mouth, which is covered by the murderer's hand.

Crowell's caption read, "They give police all types of weapons and they continually choose to kill us….#Weak."

The post, which received 33 likes, was quickly taken down from his account, but was screenshotted and circulated on social media.

Crowell posted the drawing after white police officers fatally shot two black men last week, one in Minnesota and one in Louisiana. But it went up before five police officers were slain in Dallas on Thursday during a protest of the two shootings, the source said.

Here is Crowell's statement:




Browns say Isaiah Crowell's apology for 'extremely disturbing' post is insufficient and must back it up with positive steps


Here is what he posted

Boycott the Browns if they don't cut him. Boycott anybody who picks him up.

He was kicked off Georgia's team for a felony weapons charge. He finished his career at Alabama St.

That picture is sick. His account should be deactivated, and he should be charged for material support of terrorist propaganda.

He needs some serious counseling

Clearly a young man with some deep issues.

I don't care if he wrote that apology... If he believes the apology it's enough for me to let him slide. It was a very powerful and actual apology not an excuse.

Facebook endorsing the image.

Crowell has been a lifelong thug. No surprise. He can barely speak English.

My how a 5 star player has fallen.

Actions have consequences. He is going to find this out.

Cut him.

They do. It's a shame that he hasn't learned from any of his past actions. Keeps falling forward.

If Cleveland was my favorite team I'd be voicing my opinion to the next level.

Cleveland has the most dysfunctional front office in NFL, so I wouldn't be surprised if they encourage this type of behavior!

Seriously people, it's Cleveland Ohio!!!

If he was an everyday joe, I'd believe he's being sincere.

But when it's someone whose $600,000/year salary might be threatened, I wonder if his heart is in the apology, or if it's a crafted work of CYA fiction co-written with his agent.

That apology is script drafted by someone else.

Reason why the Browns will never win a championship... always drafting dysfunctional players i.e. Johnny "futbol" and this guy.

Probably the same people who took his exams, and wrote his papers in college.

Browns have said his apology is not enough.

Crowell is an idiot and deserves a public flogging.

That being said, I hardly hold the Browns responsible here*. They can't monitor social media 24/7. I bet if you were to poll everyone in the NFL last week before the shooting, you would have found a few guys who were saying similar stuff. Remember when the players on the Rams honored Mike Brown even after all the evidence was made public of him with respect to robbing the store, eye witness accounts of him attacking the police officer in the car and later charging him (as opposed to putting his hands up and saying don't shoot).

* For full disclosure I am far from a Browns apologist. I live in Cincinnati. Anyone that knows anything about Cincinnati will tell you natives here don't hold the city of Cleveland close to their hearts.

Wait...the Browns have a team?
