Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”

People are wondering "How far does this go? How can Twitter say this is not cool, but allow something like violent movies or games? Where's the line?"

The leader of the United States encouraging law enforcement and the military to shoot American citizens for looting, that's the line.

Is this supposed to be bad? I actually wish that our own PM had done the same. I am sure that the citizens of a lot of countries that live under the rule of criminal syndicates, looters, and highwaymen would agree.

It seems that the US citizens are fine with state mandated violence as long as it does not include them. Nothing happened regarding https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21018041 for example.

Yes.

That would be bad.

They are also bad.

What is better is to have a functional police system that responds proportionately.

Why would that be bad exactly? Anyway, I am glad that you did not have to survive through something like that.

In times of mass-looting? I doubt that even the most functional police system could be able to help.

That being said we are talking about the extremely dysfunctional American police system. I doubt that they can change it into a functional one within an hour. What would you suggest for right now?
