Boston Police: ‘See you in New England, Mr. Goodell’
"They insulted a region."
Amid the euphoria of the Patriots’ stunning comeback win in Super Bowl LI, the Boston Police Department’s Twitter account looked like that of any other Patriots fan.
When the Patriots beat the Falcons 34-28 in overtime to clinch the franchise’s fifth Super Bowl victory, Boston PD took to social media.
In the first tweet, the official account of local police mentioned NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell:

And in the second, Deflategate was also the topic of the tweet:
