WATCH: Cleveland Browns Running Back Isaiah Crowell Apologizes to Cleveland Police Chief for Social Media Post

Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams was asked about Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell during a Q&A toward the end of a press conference on the topic of security at the new Multi-Agency Communications Center (MACC) for the RNC.

Williams said he had not looked at the picture "by choice" and that he had a conversation with Crowell, who was contrite, apologetic and wanted to personally apologize to the chief and law enforcement in Northeast Ohio.

Crowell posted a horrifying image of a police officer getting his throat slit on Instagram in response to recent police shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. The image was quickly deleted.

On Wednesday, Crowell posted a video that can be seen below on his Facebook page (mobile users can view it here) saying he was sorry and that "by posting that picture, I became part of the problem. I don't want to be part of the problem. I want to be part of the solution."

Crowell added that he will be donating his first game check of the 2016 season (worth $35,294) to the Dallas Fallen Officers Foundation.
