“That was my No. 1 priority, was to make sure those photos no longer exist,” Villanueva said at the time, according to THR.
Villanueva was the officer who made comments about LeBron James. Here is what he said:
This challenge is to LeBron James. I want you to match that and double that reward. I know you care about law enforcement. You expressed a very interesting statement about your perspective on race relations and on officer involved shootings and the impact that it has on the African American community. And I appreciated that. But likewise, we need to appreciate that respect for life goes across all platforms.
