Morgan Wallen almost killed a couple of cops earlier this year, when he threw a chair off a six-story rooftop bar. Morgan was autographing items for fans after his show in Florida on Friday, and somebody was holding up a FOLDING CHAIR for him to sign. There’s video of it on TikTok . . . and it seems like he sees it, but ignores it.  Someone claims Morgan said, “Man that’s funny . . . but I cannot engage with that one.”
