Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

So our President is playing victim after Twitter took down his video.
 
Someone on Twitter was paying attention to copyright laws.

@igotnopicks  
What was the video?

@Background Pony #1F81  
I don’t know it was taken down by twitter.

@igotnopicks  
Censorship is bad, m’kay? Twitter is not a “platform” if it selectively determines what views are permitted or not.

@Background Pony #1F81  
Some pontificating video about the “grave tragedy” that George Floyd’s death was and how “[his] memory is being dishonored by rioters, looters and anarchists”. Ergo nothing of value.
 
@Background Pony #38EB  
In that particular case, the video was removed in response to a DMCA takedown request, so Trump only has himself to blame for using copyrighted material without permission.

@Ereiam  
Have you seen copyright abuse on Youtube before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jwo5qc78QU

@Dustcan  
I can’t wait for that Judge to have that classic surprised Pikachu face when the protests only grow and the rioters become even more vicious.

@Background Pony #38EB  
TIL copyright law doesn’t apply when its inconvenient.

@Background Pony #38EB  
This is Trump we are talkin about, the guy doesn’t even follow the first amendment about protests.
 
So as much as I hate Copyright laws. It exists.

@Background Pony #38EB  
Trump has a long history of stealing copyrighted material for his personal propaganda.  
Plenty of artists have complained about his unauthorized use of their songs in his campaign meetings and videos before.
 
I mentioned last month that he had Guns N’ Roses cover of “Live and Let Die” playing during his tour of an Arizona mask manufacturer, and not only was it tone-deaf, but since both Paul McCartney and Axl Rose famously hate his guts, you can bet he didn’t ask for permission either.

@Dustcan  
Refusal of duty will always be a harm to the officer, whether it’s law enforcement or even military. If I recall, there’s a clause where you can refuse to follow an order due to religious or personal beliefs, but you have to prove it and if you can’t, you can get sent to jail.

@The Smiling Pony  

 
Holy hell… Was the entire police department in on this? How could they support such behavior? Two cops clearly did something wrong and was punished as per law, and their reaction was to go on a strike because of it. Do these 57 officers in blue truly believe they are above the law?

@Scrabbleman  
Do bears take woodland shits?

@Scrabbleman  
Yes they do, that’s the problem,

@Vivace  
Zoo bears don’t. But I see what you mean.

A biker gang brutally beat these protesters in Philly today:

Police brutality is not based on race but because police are often merely hired thugs who are given special legal protection as “civil servants.” This is an excellent article talking about the problem: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/rule-of-law/immunity-must-be-overruled-for-police-prosecutors-to-save-everyone/

This is NYPD Officer Yayonfrantz Jean Pierre, stabbed in the neck last night on anti-looting post, surviving because the knife didn’t hit major artery. ⁦
 
⁩This became a terror probe.
 

Friends, family and co-workers march for David Dorn, murdered by rioters.
 

@Terminal Red  
Calling fake new on this one: not only did it take place in Newark last year, but it was actually part of a skit by comedian Darius Kinney. Fact check your tweets better next time.
