Twitter has slapped a 'public interest notice' on a tweet from President Donald Trump, saying it violated its rules regarding the glorifying of violence.

"We've taken action in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts, but have kept the Tweet on Twitter because it is important that the public still be able to see the Tweet given its relevance to ongoing matters of public importance," the company said Friday morning.

Businesses have boarded up their windows and doors in an effort to prevent looting, after a Target in St. Paul was raided earlier in the day. In two tweets, Trump threatened to bring in the National Guard to control the situation and used the phrase, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." Trump appeared to quote former Miami Police Chief Walter Headley, who in December 1967 used the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." Headley was known for using "stop and frisk" policies and was head of police during racially-charged protests.

The left media pump up this narrative using everything as racial discrimination. how do you know if that policial officer got a white suspect the same wouldn’t happen. Its police brutality anybody can suffer that. The left media are traitors trying to destroy US.

Twitter oh the art of eating shit !

Mob rule in Minneapolis and the left loves it. In fact Obama is probably paying for it.

If NBC has posted it, it would have been called news, opinion. Good that the Communist censorship, narrative control platform, Twitter has shown its hand. Now we can document the hypocrisy and legislate accordingly.

😂😂😂😂. 3 years of Russia, Russia, Russia from dems and msm... Twitter: now we are going to start flagging posts... Well done, we see the true colors...

I got em on social media standpoint, looking for investors as I speak. New founded businesses in January 2020, that has begun to code my new age social media app, realDonaldTrump you may wanna jump in as an investor now.

Idiotic. There was nothing there that glorified violence

Twitter is horrible.

Purchased Twitter in mid 20’s, much because conservatives started buying into board. However, sold it a couple days ago when it’s clear they want to stifle free speech again.

Finally!. Let the games begin. Your move mr trump

Shame on you Twitter for thinking that Rioting is A-OK to go out and destroy private property! Instead You condemn Trumpp for condemning their actions, if you want to protest protest peacefully!

Fuck twitter

Trump and trumpism is the cancer of America ☠️

Is Trump behind the CNN arrest?!! They should have removed him when they had the chance. The protests will now spread across America. This is what Trump wants. Deflection from the 103,000. He has got to go.

Twitter jack Facebook all the 🐥 will soon come home to roost. 230

Twitter is wrong. Big difference between 'glorification' and stating facts. Violent rioting, looting and mob seizure of a city does beget forceful response from law enforcers.

BS

This is laughable and will play into Trumps hand. I’ve seen tweets worse than what he said. And nothing will happen to them.

Someone needs to ask the president to spend more time doing his job

Twitter’s extreme political bias is now fully on display. Removing their special protections is the right thing to do. Twitter’s activist board members will revolt as the stock price plummets. Jack will be fired and sued personally by shareholders.

Guys my new video on my channel I would like to expect some suggestions from you

😂🤣😭 twitter should get a Nobel peace prize for that

Twitter is stupid.

Why is crazy up tweeting at 3:47 in the morning? He's going to be late for work 😒

Due to the the lack of corporate responsibility I have deleted my FB account. In a digital world my data is revenue and frankly Jack Dorsey has earned my digital soul. While Jack upholds integrity, the Zuck has diner with Trump. jack Twitter

Ridiculous

Nice job, Twitter

The President should not be running the country on tweets. Or to quote Al Pacino in Godfather 3, 'never let anyone know what you are thinking'

Oh dear, isn’t Twitter scared of Trump unleashing his wrath on them?

I happily reported that scumbag!

With two protests at sme time some times you are really confused if the news is about Hongkong or about Minneapolis.

The realdonaldTrump foundation is creating a platform that would help construct a new social media platform that would absolutely follow the 1st amendment to the letter with no censorship and always let free speech have its way and call it “Trumper” LetTheTruthSetThemFree

Oh, CCP loves Twitter

That is not protesting that is a riot in Minnesota love the way they let the city burn

Trump's going to Twitter Jail.

Yet, Twitter allows people to tweet about Killing and wishing harm on realDonaldTrump hmmmm

shocker

Great, another 5% drop in Twitter’s share value. The shorts are getting rich.

That’s amazing, thank you. We should have a conversation about these topics not change facts for our personal gain

It's actually funny and predictable what Trump is doing. He is like a little boy. 'If I don't get that, then you can't'

This is what happens when Congress, Justice Department, the FBI, and the alphabet soup of US gov agencies all fail to do their job. It’s up to twitter to try and tone down a demented president.

Well done jack . Enough is enough

Good now everyone else do it

thinking of buying Twitter shares now

President virus Trump 🤧🤢🤮🥵😡🤬☠⚰💀

make a stand. Trump is the cancer, he is the Fake President - The GOP and Trump threatens your safety and security. Rise up and reject Trumpism and the GOP.

He’s such a decisive president it’s ridiculous.

Twitter glorifying bullying, discrimination and racism as to why we deny it.

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of 'kill white people' posts go unnoticed.

2020 when calling looters thugs is glorifying violence. Can we go back to 2000s when people weren’t such pussies

Brilliant. About time they took a stand against him! Go Twitter !

🤣

Find an executive order for that one! 🤣🤣🤣

But leaves up the doxxing and libel of Jacob Pederson

They are not going to like the outcome of this one.

Ridiculous. As Minneapolis burns, stores are looted and destroyed, and the police station is set on fire. This will end badly, for Twitter. Even Warren and other Dems want to regulate social media and internet giants, as Publishers with liability for the content. It's coming.

This year is too crazy.

... they are worst than thugs...

realDonaldTrump Move your social media ASAP.

Trump should be waking up any minute to rage tweet unmonitored

Hahaha can’t wait to see $twtr tank tomorrow

Whoa, it’s becoming more interesting!

That’s not what the word thug means. Holy shit. He called people that are literally destroying and robbing everything in sight “THUGS” and rightfully so. Look up the word in the dictionary. LIBS can’t stop embarrassing themselves

a step in the right direction for twitter

Twitter Management....

That’s the same mentality that led the police officer to kill Floyd George. Killed for suspicion of forgery or shot for suspicion of looting is one and the same thing. Recall that just two short weeks ago, the president was gun-wielding white men in MI to do same.

Trump is gonna blow a gasket. Big time.

Shooting looters is not violence, its pest control

As they should! fridaymorning Minneapolisprotests

Where’s the lie? He is right on both. The ppl who stormed that capitol with guns threatening the governor were true 'thugs.' These ppl who are protesting are just fed up and exercising their constitutional right to peacefully protest. Get it straight POTUS
