Los Angeles cops have scrambled to delete a bizarre social media post about the conflict in Iran after it was widely slammed as 'embarrassing' and 'offensive'.
The LA County Sheriff's Department expressed condolences for the 'tragic' US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday in a since-removed post.
'Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran,' the post on X stated.
'While this tragic event happened overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state and federal partners.'
Social media users were quick to slam the post as out-of-touch and inaccurate, given there were no confirmed deaths.
It came after police faced heavy criticism for allowing anti-ICE and 'No Kings' riots to spiral out of control in LA just weeks ago.
