Eric Garner Case: NYPD's Twitter Fail

— -- Here's another example of Twitter gone wrong.

Critics attacked the NYPD after it posted a tweet in response to the Eric Garner decision, writing, "The #NYPD is committed to rebuilding public trust. #Wehearyou."

The tweet came soon after it was announced that the police officer who put Garner in a choke hold would not be indicted in the man's death.

And the criticism that followed:

At about 4:15 p.m., city officials were notified by New York City's Digital Director to "stop all outbound social content until further notice."
