Disturbing that "owner" of twitter demanded action
Well, I am a share holder, so sorry guys. Must have been hacked or something.

I disagree. You are correct IMO in thinking the censorship should be called out. However, it should be viewed as categorically dangerous that the CEO and largest individual shareholder of a social media channel has that viewpoint. People have already academically looked into the effect Google itself can subliminally have on an election. Twitter itself is used by all sorts of groups to spread a message... most are benign or even good, but some are nefarious like ISIS and use it for evil in an effective way. It's clearly an impactful part of our society now.
BLM and other divisive groups have used Twitter to stir up the masses. In some sense, their message wreaks of mob rule. They afford no reverence for the justice system and constantly decry that it is rigged. This is dangerous for our society.
When the person who runs something that has been used to stoke the flames of racial discord, or perhaps as a tool for evil, especially when it has been rightly assessed to have many negative effects on our society, makes that statement, it is disturbing. Because it gives some indication of his motives for how he might approach such issues in the future. I'm not sure why this was so hard to grasp from the OP, as it is a reasonable opinion to have.

> 90% of black men killed are by other black men
> 40% of abortions are by black women (13% of population)
When are we all going to stop pretending this is actually about the importance of black lives.
They are just using incidents as an excuse to exercise their racism against whites.
What about the 4 Hispanics killed by police last month? No media coverage
How about in New Orleans alone before this mess started:
-white woman at raisin canes stabbed to death by blacks.
-Tulane grad in town looking for wedding location, found dead at 3am in bad part of town
- not to mention other white deaths by blacks in the last 6 months in Nola (dad walking the dog?)
So Alton sterling, a felon with a gun resisting arrest, that's what got all this started?
Are police not investigating black on black murders, responding to black on black crime? Black lives do matter. according to murder and abortion numbers it's a percent of the black population that has the least regard for black lives
As far as this whole black panther movement to kill cops and whites.
If isolated incidents should be used to justify an entire races' mindset we might as well let the bombs fly bc the whole world deserves to burn.
And no I am not judging the entire black population off these extremists actions, like they are whites and police

Adrenaline? Cops have been shot and killed before this. They didn't see the gun at first, even though there was a call for it. Yell out to your partner and anyone around when you see it and the perp reaching for it.
Just because they yell that out doesn't mean they are surprised he actually has it.
Is he supposed to calmly say to his partner, hey man. He may be going for tma gun in his pocket. What are the courses of action we should take?
This argument is silly.

It's easy to be not racist when you never have to interact with anyone outside of your own race. That's why Portland has so many open minded, non-racists.
They also post that shite because it gets clicks.

Fair enough. Just seemed a little odd to me is all.

I don't know. I was just wondering if maybe there was a miscommunication and they didn't know he had a gun and they'd have gone about things differently had they know. Just trying to run through all the scenarios in my head. Again, I was just kind of puzzled by the seemingly startled reaction when they allegedly realized he had a gun and was reaching for it.

I'm not making an argument. Just trying to piece things together. It's a complicated scenario obviously.

It's very easy to grasp, but it's far from reasonable to be disturbed by it. It's the "owner's" constitutional right to voice his opinion. It's also not shocking in the least, given the tech industry is centered in one of the most liberal areas of the country. He has a right to say what he wants, and people have a right to support his product based on whether they agree with his views or not. Google is a great example. It's mildly annoying, but not surprising, if Google's CEO makes a politically charged public comment. It's "disturbing" if he then orders Google personnel to shift search results supporting his viewpoint to the top of the page. People have opinions, that's a fact of life, and simply voicing them is not wrong. But, if they then allow those opinions to influence them in an unethical or criminal way, then there should be consequences.

Once again, this is called free speech. It applies to both quotes. I agree with your assessment of these groups, but unless they are advocating for violence then they are protected under the constitution. I don't like their opinion, but I think it's important for them to be allowed to express it. Suggesting that the suspension of free speech is justified simply because someone perceives it as "dangerous" is a very slippery slope, and an argument often used by the groups you're denouncing.

It's what liberal progressives due. They're smarter than everyone else and are intent on power/control over the ignorant proletariat for their own good towards a New World Order in which of course liberal elites are the ruling class. What we badly need in our nation is some good old fashion competition in all fields of media/communication. To a large extent Fox News has been successful due to this business model. The competitors don't have to be on the opposite end of the political spectrum aka right wing radicals; they just need to employ politically neutral business practices. People would absolutely flock to them with said businesses pointing out the political bias of the liberal elites that is being force-fed to the public. Then once the progressive businesses started losing customers they would likely be forced to stop pushing their political agendas in conjunction with their products and services.
