Police departments abusing the new Twitter restricted replies function to lie about protests and the actions they used should be a bannable offense.

Official accounts like this should NOT be allowed to use this feature!!!

@Twitter - You have got a HUGE responsiblity here.

Police official account tweets they didn‘t use teargas.

Turns off replies so nobody can prove they‘re lying in replies.

People have to quote tweet proof...which of course doesn‘t get seen by people reading the police tweets.

@Twitter - STOP THIS!!!
