By the time you’ve hired a social media coordinator, you’re already fucked. You’ve now named your general in the battle against the five Internet troll armies and it’s a 24-year old girl from City College who did a semester internship for Us Weekly. Chalk up the NYPD as the latest large scale organization to brain fart the use of Twitter, a media outlet clearly designed for teens too socially retarded to play sports or masturbate. The NYPD posted this Tweet shortly after the grand jury decided not to indict their officer for choke-holding Eric Garner to death:
Here’s what most of us learned a very long time ago. When you’re in trouble, shut the fuck up and lay low. Social media is the precise opposite of shutting the fucking up and laying low. It’s a giant bullseye target of look at me now for people and organizations that seem to lack any modicum of foresight. Like inventing the hashtag #WeHearYou. Was #TheFunnySoundBlacksMakeWhenSuffocating already taken?
