I’m not offended by it (nor Irish in origin) but why is it acceptable to refer to a police van as a “Paddy wagon?” Imagine calling them Tyrone mobiles or Hymie trucks.

Don't be so sensitive. Why shouldn't we call them that? Tyrone mobile sounds exactly like the kind of community policing that's being asked for right now. Tyrone responds to the scene. Dayquan drives the Tyrone Mobile. Shanesha answers the 911 operator line. You have to accept the new normal and recover from your bigoted assumptions.
