Local news station in hot water after ill-timed Ferguson tweet

There may be riots in Ferguson but at least a celebrity dance competition will still be going ahead.

As tensions rose in Ferguson last night following the decision by a Grand Jury not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, a Tennessee news station found itself the target of online ire after a terrifically badly-timed tweet.

WTVC News Channel 9 tweeted the below message reassuring their viewers that despite a special report on the riots and rapidly deteriorating situation in Ferguson, Dancing With The Stars - a celebrity dance competition - would still be going ahead.
