According to Gizmodo, the White House reposted President Trump’s tweet which calls for Americans protesting police brutality in Minneapolis to be shot. <br />On Friday, Twitter hid Trump's original tweet and the White House's repost behind a label for “glorifying violence.”<br />People are protesting in Minneapolis after George Floyd, a black man, was filmed gasping for breath while a white police officer knelt on his neck. Floyd died. <br />In Trump's early Friday morning tweet he called the protestors "THUGS dishonoring the memory of George Floyd."<br />Trump wrote that he can't "watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis,” and that he told Governor Tim Walz "that the Military is with him all the way."<br />Trump added, "Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts."<br />Twitter says that although the Tweet violates Twitter Rules about glorifying violence, they believe that it's in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.
