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.
