Susan Sarandon Apologizes for Tweet About Police at Cop Funeral

Facing intense backlash, actor Susan Sarandon is apologizing for a tweet she wrote about the massive congregation of cops honoring a slain officer in New York. “So, if all these cops weren’t needed for CRIME that day, doesn’t that mean they aren’t needed ANY day?” the Oscar-winning actor tweeted. There was outrage from police, and the National Fraternal Order of Police wasted no time in responding on Twitter. Sarandon later apologized, saying she hadn’t realized the context of the gathering.
