The L.A. County Sheriff's Department apologized for a social media post expressing sympathy for victims of bombings in Iran.
Critics condemned the post for inappropriately commenting on foreign policy and potentially alienating the large Iranian-American community in L.A.
The department insisted the post didn't represent their views and that their focus remains on local safety and community service.
An internal investigation will examine how the post was created and published, aiming to prevent similar incidents in the future.
