First, why is the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department posting about the recent air strikes against Iran? Second, who approved this catastrophe of a post? On Twitter, this account sent condolences to Iran.
“Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran.” The sites that were bombed were nuclear facilities. It got worse, and they labeled this event “tragic.” When you first read, one can only do a double-take. The department tried to edit the post but deleted it altogether. Fox News’ Bill Melugin suggested that someone went rogue regarding this tweet.
UPDATE: After sending condolences to Iran, the LA County Sheriff’s Dept EDITED their tweet to remove the condolences but have now DELETED the tweet all together.

WTF?! The L.A. Sheriff’s Department says “our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran,” calls the strikes on nuclear facilities “tragic.” pic.twitter.com/FPSX8XorXS

The official, verified LA County Sheriff’s Dept posted, then edited, then deleted this eyebrow raising post appearing to express condolences for the “tragic” US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Have to imagine someone went rogue here w/ an unapproved post. What a PR disaster. pic.twitter.com/QCe1cS1ct8

LA County Sheriff’s office put out a tweet commiserating with the ayatollah in Iran losing his nukes. They’ve since edited the tweet. pic.twitter.com/NwsJsiFzZy

Melugin is responding to a deleted tweet from the LA county sheriffs department about sympathy for Iran. Unreal. https://t.co/OBMNVVSo7a pic.twitter.com/25ClIleDoL
