A police officer was seen on camera firing what appeared to be pepper balls at a news crew during a live television broadcast of the second night of Louisville protests, prompting an apology from the Louisville Metro Police Department.

A crew from WAVE-TV was downtown in the Kentucky city Friday night, covering demonstrations over the death of Breonna Taylor, a black woman killed by police in her own home in March. Police presence intensified around 9:45 p.m., as officers in riot gear stood shoulder-to-shoulder moving people down a key street near City Hall, the Courier Journal reported.

Halladay said she couldn't tell who the officer was at this time, but that police would review the video again and "if we need to do any investigation for discipline, we will do that." A clip of the WAVE-TV broadcast posted to Twitter amassed more than 8 million views in less than six hours, and was retweeted more than 50,000 times, including by other journalists and rapper Ice-T.

Sorry we were filmed & got identified. Name tags and badges are hidden whoops

You're not sorry..just sorry you got caught...strip him of his title/job

🙄pretty sure the American people are over excuses, clarifications and apologies after the fact. Simply. Do. Better.

That's like the policeman apologizing after he removes his knee off a person after suffocating him then walking away like he never did anything. COPS ARE OUT OF CONTROL.

Yeah “mah bad”

🇨🇦 wants to claim they are better than Americans & but are worse. From the Canadian employers who won't hire blacks but post that the embrace diversity & inclusion just to weed out minorities during the selection process because of their diversity questionnaire

Let’s be honest, put yourself in a cops shoes... We’d be going after any sort of camera.

The media loves the word 'target'. It's psycholinguistics; they will use that word when they want to leave the impression in the mind that the actions were malevolent.

' I'm sorry I got caught'.

Terence Corcoran: The real story of long-term-care COVID-19 deathsWhere Canada needed an immediate, targeted response for seniors, the government targeted everyone everywhere. Which isn’t a target at all Your “it starts at the top” completely skipped over the owners of these LTC homes that hid PPE and won’t pay full time hours. Why were there more deaths at for profit homes than not for profit homes. Who cut inspections of these homes? That was Ford. Any word on the Quebec LTC Military report yet... or are they still sanitizing it?
