I said it yesterday and got downvotes, Twitter’s CEO decided to pick sides in the political battle so they should expect what’s coming to them.

Sounds like maybe you should take the hint. It's not "taking sides" to point out that you're glorifying violence if you as the president are threatening to deploy military force against protestors.

Sending police to stop violence is "glorifying violence"? How exactly?

Sigh. Really.

The tweets didn’t offer “sending in the police” it threatened to send the military in. Which isn’t the police.

Word matter. The fact I’m m reading this comment here is sad.
