How is that glorifying violence?

Well, looting had already started hours before he'd posted this.

That being said - the President of the United States, just stated on one of the largest social media platforms used in the U.S., that citizens of the U.S. are now to be shot. From his words, immediately. It could even be viewed as "they should've already been shot at"

If you don't understand how this is glorifying violence, I don't think you can be made to.

Where does it unequivocally say that?

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/glorification... doesn't seem to have 'unequivocally' anywhere.

I am not in favor of looters, but note that https://fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm3-19-15.pdf emphasizes the necessity of graduated response. I presume state militia units share the doctrine (Figure 2.1) that lethal response is only called for in the face of an armed threat, and that it must be the minimum response necessary.
