'Does it count as a police chase?': MSNBC under fire for insensitive tweet mocking moment cop was DRAGGED along
The news organization MSNBC landed in hot water over a provocative tweet it posted which appeared to mock a police officer who was dragged along the street by a suspect.
The tweet with a video embedded in it, created a firestorm from commenters on social media and news sites. It read: 'Does it count as a police chase if you drag the cop along for the ride?'
But shortly after a backlash ensued online on Saturday, the network hastily removed it from Twitter and Facebook, followed by an apology acknowledging that it had been 'inappropriate.'
MSNBC then tweeted: 'A video tweeted from MSNBC Friday evening has been removed. The material was inappropriate. It should not have been posted and we're sorry.'

Not surprisingly, I never saw it.
Entirely appropriate for their audience. They only pulled it when it got attention from sane people.
Similar thing happened here in MN a week or so ago.
Cop got dragged.
Cop shot and killed perp.
Funny... No parades or riots.
What do you expect from a bunch of Commie bastards, they hate the police yet their headquarters is protected by guess what..ARMED GUARDS..why these guards even bother protecting people who hate their guts I can’t imagine
So at what point will the world (low information crowd) realize that MSNBC is not a legitimate “news” organization?
I am not holding my breath.
Right to an abortion, to be a thug... Is all lining up.
Truth and reality matter not to liberals. The low info types are just too stupid to know better.
That comment has Rachel Maddow written all over it.
And Chris Mathews said the other day that the GOP treats Hispanics like they treat trains. He was somehow relating the train wreck to cuts in Amtrak funding, and tried to say the GOP ignores trains, ignores Hispanics, or some such nonsense. I can not always follow the thought process of the liberals.
I ritually ignore Chris Mathews.
“The news organization MSNBC “ - Since when is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party considered a news organization?
Maybe MSNBC threads should be accompanied by
a snark alert. Or, maybe it is just a given.
These little moments reveal the real hatred for police among the leftist journalists.
Chrissy the Sissy is still on? Who knew?
Something for their FINO viewers.
