Twatter censors Trump tweet, claims it "violates our policies by glorifying violence" ??

Minneapolis:  The city was building a a six-story public housing complex--funded by taxpayers.

Looters and rioters burned it to the ground, along with a dozen businesses.

The president tweeted to express his belief that looting, rioting and burning was unacceptable.  That tweet contained the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

The leftists at Twatter said this "violated their policies regarding the glorification of violence."

Maybe it's just me but I don't see "glorifying violence" anywhere in the president's tweet.  What I do see is a thousand Twatter commenters on an earlier tweet about the riots saying "This is GREAT!"  and "We need MORE of this!"  There's your "glorifying violence," yet their tweets didn't get taken down by the leftists who run Twatter.

There's no question that police do illegal things, and exhibit lousy judgment much of the time.  But when rioters are burning down your city, how do you get 'em to stop?

Twatter implicitly demands that the state and city take no action to end the looting and burning.  Cuz the "right to protest" is guaranteed by our wonderful Constitution.  And of course burning buildings and businesses to the ground is simply a protected form of "protest," right?

Of course it's not.  But in censoring a tweet by the president saying "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" it seems clear that Twatter doesn't think a city or state should take any action to stop looters or arsonists.

What do you think?  Doesn't matter--CNN, MSNBC and social-justice folks have already decided how this will play out.
