CLE Police Union demands apology from Browns for Andrew Hawkins shirt supporting Tamir Rice
CLEVELAND - Cleveland Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins made a bold statement while taking the field on Sunday, and the head of the Cleveland Police Union is demanding an apology.
While running out of the tunnel at FirstEnergy Stadium, Hawkins wore a shirt that read, “Justice for Tamir Rice - John Crawford.”
In response, Jeff Follmer Police Patrolman Union President sent newsnet5 the following statement:
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.
Browns cornerback Johnson Bademosi wore a shirt that read, “I Can’t Breathe” last Sunday while warming up before playing the Indianapolis Colts in protest of a grand jury's decision not to indict the officer involved in the death of Eric Garner.
Bademosi was joined by other famous athletes wearing the shirt during warm-ups including LeBron James, Kyrie Irving , Reggie Bush and Derrick Rose.
During Ferguson protests, St. Louis Rams players exited the tunnel at the Edward Jones Dome with their hands up , a symbolic sign for “hands up, don’t shoot.”

Browns players protest with ‘Justice for Tamir Rice, John Crawford’ T-shirt
On Sunday, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins added his name to the list of pro athletes who have protested recent killings.
Hawkins came out for pregame warmups wearing a T-shirt that read: “Justice for Tamir Rice and John Crawford.” He was joined by another, as yet unidentified player.
Rice, a 12-year-old, was holding a toy gun when he was shot and killed by a Cleveland police officer last month. Crawford was shot and killed by police in August while holding an air gun in a Wal-Mart. Both were black.
How dare black folks use their First Amendment rights to support innocent black people killed by the pigs.. apparently those rights are still only for whitey's use only...

DA getting mad over a comic:
Law Enforcement Groups Slam Newspaper Over Cartoon
An editorial cartoon run last weekend by the Levittown-based Bucks County Courier Times has placed the newspaper under fire from local and regional law enforcement groups.
The editorial cartoon that depicted a group of African-American children asking Santa to keep them safe from the police has caused a firestorm.

Hawkins has absolutely nothing to apologize for.
-
These ? cops have no respect bro. How can you justify shooting a 12yr old within 2 sec
-
sickening
i bet that filthy pig wants an apology more than he wants justice for the victims -
Police = kkk
-
Cleveland Police hire an mentally unstable, previously fired police officer who now rolls up on a 12 year old and shoots him in under 3 seconds.
and their response is: "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."
Cleveland Law: Never be a black kid with a toy gun. If police get called to investigate you, it's going to be with bullets. -
why do these pigs take "justice for (blank)" as a attack on the whole force?
when did these pigs think they could dictate to the NFL ?
how can cops be anti-snitching and support ? cops ? -
? him.
-
The public figures making statements like Hawkins will have as much empathy/compassion for the law enforcers that these union reps protect as the law enforcers have for the families they've given losses to.
-
Bra the audacity of these sick ? . It's not enough to be able to slaughter black children with virtual impunity..they want everyone to be happy about it too.
-
arent cops supposed to stay neutral though

WTF is that supposed to mean?
So athletes are not supposed to know the law?
Wow.
And what exactly is Andrew Hawkins supposed to apologize for??
Andrew Hawkins is not the one who gunned down a 12 year old boy who was playing with a BB gun.
Andrew Hawkins is not the one who lied and claimed to have ordered the 12 year old to drop his weapon three times...
Even though the video clearly shows the pig shot the kid within 2 seconds of rolling up on him..
If anybody should apologize, it should be the Cleveland police department for hiring a trigger-happy mental case.

It's pretty pathetic when you've worked with the law for years and still don't know that it's subjective

these cops need to drop like flys.

They operate as a gang. The police union works hard to.cover and proter cops when they have legal troubles. To them this is a war between them and citizens. They are the boggest gangs in our cities. -

cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2014/12/cleveland_police_union_preside_1.htmlThe Browns in a statement said they respect Cleveland police and their players right to support certain causes.
"We have great respect for the Cleveland Police Department and the work that they do to protect and serve our city," the statement says. "We also respect our players' rights to project their support and bring awareness to issues that are important to them if done so in a responsible manner."
Rice, 12, was fatally shot on Nov. 22 by rookie Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann less than two seconds after he arrived to investigate a complaint about Tamir carrying what turned out to be a fake gun.
Crawford, 22, was fatally shot by police on Aug. 5 while holding a toy rifle inside a Walmart in Beavercreek, outside Dayton.
Follmer said many Cleveland police officers work security for the Browns games and are employed by Browns.
"He should stick to playing football and let us worry about law enforcement," Follmer said. "The players don't know what our job entails. Don't judge us by what you're reading in the media."
