@BrookeBCNN As a member of the media, you need to think about your words before you state such things! https://t.co/4wky6Gr9KJ

@BrookeBCNN Did you just imply veterans trigger happy psychos who shouldn't be cops?

— Mike Vick (@vixjunk) April 28, 2015

@thegoldfarb @BrookeBCNN Brooke, how do you know they don't know the community or how they have been trained?

— Sarah Stevenson (@sarahrstevenson) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN Why are you blaming our military veterans for #BaltimoreBurning I'm sure our returning vets want to know what you meant? Feel me

— Scarlet (@sarahdinahetta) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN sorry, that was a v. ignorant comment abt veterans. Who is ready to fight? As police? As protestors? Just…wow.

— Benjamin Duchek (@redlegben) April 28, 2015

.@BrookeBCNN so let me get this straight, you think that #veterans on the police force is a bad thing in #Baltimore? That's quite the smear

Couldn't believe it when I heard it. Brooke Baldwin blames veterans turned cops for violence in Baltimore.http://t.co/eThvnfD6mB

— Daniel Bassali (@bassalid) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN Wait…what? Veterans who become cops are to blame for the riots? As a vet, I find this sickening and you delusional.

— Joe Dougherty (@joe_dougherty) April 28, 2015

Wow, walk it back @CNN. Quickly. @thegoldfarb @BrookeBCNN

— JJ (@Thewbert3) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN The rioters in Baltimore are responsible for their own actions. You did a disservice to the veterans with your stupid comment.

— maggietree (@maggietree1) April 28, 2015

.@BrookeBCNN I'm a veteran. My husband is retired USAF. Son is a submariner, daughter is USAF who deployed to Afghanistan. Apologize, scum.

— Christine Wilson (@mshpitsoccermom) April 28, 2015

Wow @brookebcnn, you are a repulsive piece of shit.

— H (@Tark31) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN Say that to a Veteran's face… You're a disgrace as it @cnn

— TFC3Tweets (@TFC3Tweets) April 28, 2015

Thank you @BrookeBCNN for educating on how veterans caused the Baltimore riots. So glad I spent all that time serving just to be the enemy.

— Joshua Nybakken (@Joshua_Nybo) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN You are a pathetic excuse for a journalist. How dumb do you think we all are? You need to apologize today to all the vets!!

— Cheryl Phalen (@clphalen) April 28, 2015

@thegoldfarb @BrookeBCNN As a veteran: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? #NITWIT

— David Keller (@DavidKeller5) April 28, 2015

Folks. Please don't misunderstand me. Dear friends/family of mine are veterans. I was repeating a concern vocalized to me lately. That's it.

— Brooke Baldwin (@BrookeBCNN) April 28, 2015

"Vocalized to me". WHAT??? https://t.co/Yy97a4WF5K

— Erick Brockway (@erickbrockway) April 28, 2015

Vocalized by whom, @BrookeBCNN?

— Erik Soderstrom (@soderstrom) April 28, 2015

“I love our nation’s veterans, but some are coming back from war.."Sounds like your own words to me. https://t.co/2ImkSmd4pq

— Jessica Heddings (@JessicaHeddings) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN Best case is you phrased it poorly. In no case did we misunderstand what you said; that was clear. @instapundit

— Lead and Gold (@leadandgold_cdh) April 28, 2015

BS. Classic cop out @BrookeBCNN. My kid has concerns the Tooth Fairy stole his favorite hat, I don't repeat in on TV @Sunniedlt @GayPatriot.

— Media Maters (@MediaMaters) April 28, 2015

No, you were voicing your opinion. https://t.co/N9rpGc6PaY

— Rae (@RaeLynnZiegler) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN Sure… We heard you. Blame veterans "looking for combat." Pathetic, and sad.

— Elefante (@Calle_Elefante) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN "Repeating a concern?" Really? Because I haven't heard anyone say that, tweet that, or blame veterans in any article.

— Elefante (@Calle_Elefante) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN liar. That was no misunderstanding. veterans protect us & you incite hatred of them? Shame on you & your ilk who fan the flames

— nauset (@nauset45) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN your choice of words are clear. You should be damn ashamed of yourself.

— Vitaly (@VitalyKroy) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN Really, awful job. If that was your intent, you stepped in a massive pile. Truly terrible job. An apology is in order.

— Matt O'Brien (@Mattfobrien) April 28, 2015

@BrookeBCNN You're a shit journalist then.

— South Fulton (@SouthFultonInfo) April 28, 2015

I am sorry for what I said earlier about veterans. It was wrong and I apologize to anyone who was hurt by my comments.
