Twitter flags Trump's tweet on Minneapolis riots for glorifying violence

Twitter has flagged another one of US President Donald Trump's tweets, this time for glorifying violence in the wake of riots taking place in Minneapolis where citizens are protesting against the police for the death of George Floyd at the hands of his arresting officer who was fired, but still walks free. Riots escalated for the third day in a row and resulted in the burning of a police station and various injuries to both police and protesters. 

Trump fired off a series of tweets condemning the protests by "thugs," and threatening to send in the National Guard to "get the job done right." Another tweet from Trump included, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts," but was hidden by Twitter because it violated their terms of service for inciting violence.
