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.

> ...shoot American citizens for looting...

When the government uses violence to enforce the law... that's part of the system.

...but the more fundamental question is "Who gets to decide?". Should it be a corporation or an elected body?
