CPS adds its social media posts should be a safe place for people to stay informed about what’s happening in the city, where they can also be “heard.”
“However, comments are being made that are offensive and do not align with our core values of respect, compassion, honesty, and integrity. You have told us many times, we hear you, and we agree,” reads the tweet.
Police say the decision comes “in the best interest” of the community, as a result of feedback.
