Critics argue that the reaction stems from a conditioned dislike of law enforcement, while supporters believe the tweet was a harmless way for the police to connect with the community. Audi Crooks made history by scoring 40 points while shooting 90% and picking up 12 rebounds in the Cyclones' comeback win against the Maryland Terrapins.
