Do you think it helps when the Executive confirms their misguided bias? He could have stated the proper context of the thin blue line. He could have had a chance to educate people. To show how much HIS police do for community relations and what they plan to do under the new Chief. Instead he’s just ignorant, like the few who complained.[/quote]

The police had a chance to educate people. They could have apologized, explained that they did not mean it as a symbol of white supremacy, and taken down the tweet. That would have been an effective public-relations strategy. Instead, they reacted defensively. They did their own damage.

And no, it wasn't "a few" who complained, and no, they're not ignorant. Describing it as the complaints of an ignorant few is exactly what the police public relations strategy should NOT do.

I’m not Police. So I can say what I want. However, in this era of demanding instant response to everything — nobody gives them any time. It’s a bureaucracy like any other. So Elrich speaks first, and inartfully at that.[/quote]
