10:30 PM: Displaying lack of cultural IQ in a tweet that will piss off both sides. Still not ready for prime time.
If I wanted to change the culture of a police department – particularly if it were going through training or reorganization – I might rename them ‘Guardians’ – literally a protector or defender – and adopt a different color scheme. Minneapolis Guardians has a nice ring to it.
