Twitter says Shaun King’s threat to name Kenosha cops ‘not in violation’ of rules

A Twitter spokesman says activist and accused fraudster Shaun King’s threat to name Kenosha, Wisc., police officers is “not in violation” of its rules — including its ban on “a threat of harm against an identifiable group,” a rule used to censor President Trump.

King tweeted Tuesday that the Kenosha Police Department must “name the officer” who shot Jacob Blake, or “we will simply begin naming officers from your department who may or may not be him.”

The former Daily News columnist has 1.1 million followers and the tweet was widely criticized as a threat against officers uninvolved in the Sunday incident. King — who found notoriety for numerous outlandish claims in support of the Black Lives Matter movement — has repeatedly praised rioters and has called for full defunding of the police.

But a Twitter spokesman told The Post Wednesday, “The Tweet you referenced is currently not in violation of the Twitter Rules.”

The spokesperson directed a reporter to information on Twitter’s policy against posting personal information, such as home addresses and contact information, and against glorifying violence, such as by celebrating violent crimes like mass-murder.

The Twitter rep did not explain how King’s tweet complies with a platform rule against “a threat of harm” against “an identifiable group,” which was used to censor Trump. They simply said of King’s posting: “That tweet is not in violation of any of the Twitter Rules.”

Well of course it isn’t. Hello! Special treatment is NOT equal treatment. Butt, apparently talcum -X is special.

hopefully their dogma will get its karma
when twitters’ owners, directors, secretaries, janitors,
president, agents, stockholders are themselves
IRREVERSIBLY DOXed and then
sued for racism, censorship, and selling private data.

One hair on any of these officer’s head is harmed and Twitter, King, and Soros should be sued into oblivion.

Maybe we should say that Eric Ciaramella was one of the officers. Would Twitter ban that tweet?

Mr. King had better re-think this. The people he is threatening have families & carry guns.

Twitter should be put out of business by the Feds for targeting people they don’t like for MURDER!!!!

Yes, I have a Twitter account for my business. But it is a very long time since that account was of any use to me at all! So I’ll be glad to say “bye-bye, Twitter! Bye-bye, @jack!!!!

This is what it’s going to take before they stop playing this game. A direct and imminent, physical threat to Twitter employees. Otherwise it’s ‘just a myth’.
