Evan Peters is expressing his regret over retweeting a clip that condoned violence amid the protests over the recent killing of George Floyd.
The American Horror Story actor issued an apology Tuesday after he "unknowingly" retweeted a video from a news broadcast that showed police officers chasing down "looters" in the street.
In the video, officers are seen running after a person in the street before tackling him to the ground while the person behind the camera cheers, "get them!"
"I can watch these piece of s—t looters get tackled all day!!" the Twitter user captioned the clip.
After coming under fire for sharing the video, Peters tweeted that he doesn't "condone the guy watching the news at all in the video" and that he deleted the clip from his feed.
"I unknowingly retweeted it. I'm deeply upset it got on my newsfeed," the 33-year-old wrote. "I sincerely apologize if anyone was offended. I support black lives matter wholeheartedly."
