The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department issued a formal apology for a social media post deemed offensive and inappropriate regarding the situation in Iran.
The controversial post, since deleted, expressed sympathy for victims of recent bombings, a stance criticized for its perceived commentary on foreign policy.
The department clarified that their mission focuses solely on local public safety and that the post did not reflect the Sheriff's views.
An internal review is underway to determine how the problematic social media post was created and published on their official accounts.
