This blog post/case study was published a few years ago by Slack's marketing team and led to a firestorm of controversy within the company. Many employees of all backgrounds spoke up about how upset they were that Slack would use a police department as marketing. Eventually the decision was made to keep it up which certainly frustrated a lot of people. I guess now the leaders have decided it's time to take it down.
edit: in private channels for POC, which I was a part of, people were incensed at the insensitivity. At the time I felt it was a particularly stupid choice for marketing material but not necessarily a moral wrong.
