Minnesota Town's Police Department Gets in Twitter Fight with Denver Police

During its weekly #TalkingTuesday feature, when police respond to residents' questions on Twitter, the Wyoming, Minnesota Police Department got into a friendly, though rather feisty, Twitter fight over football with the Denver Police Department.

And this is where Wyoming landed the final blow:

NFL fans from across the country took notice of the friendly, and rather odd, battle between police.

Wyoming, a town of less than 8,000, is about 30 miles northeast of Minneapolis. Small as it may be, we now know its police's Twitter presence is a force to be reckoned with.
