Cleveland Cops Demand Apology, Call Activist Browns Players "Pathetic"
Timothy Burke
Today 7:54pm

Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins wore a shirt demanding justice for Tamir Rice and John Crawford before today's game against the Bengals, and the act so infuriated Cleveland cops that the city's police union president is now demanding the team apologize—calling Hawkins's statement (and one previously by Johnson Bademosi) "pathetic."

Police Patrolman Union president Jeff Follmer sent the following statement to Cleveland's WEWS:

It's pretty pathetic when athletes think they know the law. They should stick to what they know best on the field. The Cleveland Police protect and serve the Browns stadium and the Browns organization owes us an apology.

That echoes the tone-deaf response issued by St. Louis police in the wake of Rams players' "Hands up, don't shoot" gesture weeks ago, if more brief and, somehow, ridiculous.

"HOW IS THIS A THING? How can cops face criminals and bad guys, but balk in the face of even the mildest criticism when they totally fucked up?"

they've morphed into PR vampires from being PR frankensteins

used to be they'd just shit on the mayor, the chief etc. when shit would hit the fan or budgets got cut

now they're attacking citizens & social issues to save face instead of touting what we all know are the complexities of policing

it's sad, & i don't know how this helps them in the long run

they're creating more enemies by standing with the fringe on this.

I don't support cop killers but I sure as fuck don't support killer cops. See how that sits with the unions.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

obviously the players know enough of the law to know they can wear the shirts and police are abusing their power...

Has Union President Jeff Follmer apologized to Tamir Rice's family yet?

Did Follmer ever apologize for this...
