Apparent Hack of LAPD's Twitter Account Results in Post Accusing Agency of Racism

An apparent hack of the Los Angeles Police Department's Twitter account resulted in an unauthorized posting that seemed to accuse the agency of racism.

The tweet on the account @LAPDHQ, which read, "lapdWHITE SUPREMACISTS,'' appeared at 1:53 p.m. and was taken down within minutes.

It was replaced with a message, posted 2:40 p.m., that read, "We are aware that our #LAPD account was compromised and are taking the proper steps to resolve the issue." 

A spokesman said the LAPD had no further comment.
