The Awful, Beautiful Honesty of Twitter Users

By Aaron Stares

For this week I did a little something different and set out to write something that celebrates the worst-handled PR in 2014. November is an odd month, past halloween, there's some turkey in there, but way before presents and trees. Late December is a time for reflection and considering all the horrible mistakes we made in the last year. It's a time for us to consider all those times we stuffed our feet, toes first, into our slobbery maws and make a shortlist of actions we will resolve not to take in the coming year to try and avoid that. 

That said, I know it's a little pre-imptive, but here are some of the things orginizations have said that I'm sure they wish they could take back. Borrowing from a list by Michelle Nati I've gathered a couple of the doozies.

The NYPD asked its followers for photos posted with the hashtag #mynypd and was flooded with police brutality pics.
