San Francisco police are preparing for a potential pro-Trump demonstration at Twitter’s headquarters on Monday, fearing a possible retaliation after the social media company permanently shut down President Trump’s account.

Twitter permanently banned Trump’s account on Friday, citing “risk of further incitement of violence" following the deadly riot that took place at the Capitol on Wednesday.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that police have been in contact with company representatives and say they will have enough resources to respond if protesters do show up.

"While we respect people’s right to express their views, we've been transparent about the factors leading up to our decision last week" a Twitter spokesperson said in an email to the Chronicle. The spokesperson stressed that the company’s highest priority is the safety of its workers.

Police did not say if there is any indication of demonstrators coming in from outside the area, citing policy that prohibits them from discussing planning. LINK

Where did they say they weren’t allowing peaceful protests? Police are present at peaceful protests all the time.

This is the brilliant narrative.

It’s not pro-Trump

It’s anti-censorship and anti-communism and pro-America’s founding principles.

Yes they are

And after the events of this past week/months/year it should not be surprising to anyone, from any side of the aisle that police will have a presence at your protest. Maybe just don’t tear shite up?
