American Horror Story actor Evan Peters has apologized for retweeting a message praising the police for tackling and detaining looters during the ongoing nationwide riots.

On Tuesday, the 33-year-old actor claimed he was “deeply upset” with himself after retweeting a post by a Twitter user who shared a recording of a news broadcast of cops chasing and pinning down looters, adding that he supports the Black Lives Matter movement “wholeheartedly.” “I can watch these piece of shit looters get tackled all day,” the Twitter user wrote as thousands of Americans see their livelihoods being destroyed by vandals and thieves taking advantage of the riots that began as a response to the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd in police custody.

I support black lives matter wholeheartedly.
