CNN’s #AskACop Backfires. Hard To Believe, Huh?
The panel on CNN which will air on Tuesday night will consist of five officers who have used deadly force in the course of their job. The cops are to take questions from social media users responding to the campaign, and boy oh boy, do they have some ‘splainin’ to do.
At 10, #CopsUnderFire. We’ve gathered a police panel – what would you like to ask them? Send in your Q’s w #AskACop pic.twitter.com/YQlCTCHzNZ

#AskACop Why do so many officers in #STL area ignore repeated reminders from @TheJusticeDept to wear nametags? @CNN pic.twitter.com/uPs9zv2xHw — Heather (@MissJupiter1957) December 17, 2014
#Askacop I have a math question: if 1 Black man has zero guns, zero knives and 2 hands, how many bullets does it take to disarm him?

Nice going, CNN! It’s not their first “I am aware of all internet traditions” moment.

Does anyone in their social media department actually understand how social media works? Hello?
Larry Schmitt December 17th, 2014 at 09:53
They’re all channeling Ted Stevens.

The former Alaskan Senator? Didn’t he die in a plane crash. Sorry, I’m having a “squirrel!” type of day. :-)
Larry Schmitt December 17th, 2014 at 10:23
Yes, he did. He was responsible for “the internet is a series of tubes” remark which will live forever. You can still hear it (no video) on Youtube.
Mainah December 17th, 2014 at 10:25
Nice! I need a really good laugh today.

As you can see, that worked out swimmingly!
How many times do corporations, news outlets, etc, suffer similar experiences doing this with Twitter, before they get a clue? Perhaps the good thing about this is that it wasn’t done on Facebook, since a response in a 140 character limitation would’ve not been in play.
