The Kansas City Police Department did not directly reference the Trump tweet but tweeted about general confusion about the city’s location, tweeting, “Now that everyone is paying attention to Kansas City, it seems people are confused: We're from MISSOURI. Check our profile pic — It's our Missouri-shaped patch.”
