The department responded to the dialogue, stating:

You're right, addiction is a horrible thing. This wasn't about that, it was the fact that a citizen snapped this photo and has been shared by hundreds already including the media. We thought you'd want to hear what happened directly from us, since it's in our city and our police are the ones who had to deal with this. The memes weren't being requested but expected in this crazy world we now live in. We appreciate the dialogue.
