Facebook staff anger over Trump post
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52880151

The president said he would "send in the National Guard", and warned that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."
The post remains untouched on Facebook after founder Mark Zuckerberg said it did not violate the company’s policy around incitement of violence.
A "virtual walkout" is taking place today, with some employees leaving an out-of-office message explaining that they are protesting.
“People can agree or disagree on where we should draw the line, but I hope they understand our overall philosophy is that it is better to have this discussion out in the open, especially when the stakes are so high,” Mr Zuckerberg wrote in a post on the platform.

It seems not even Facebook workers agree with their boss. Sadly their reason is the opposite to what I had expected, they think they should completely censor Trump.
I know his comments are kind of violent, but he is the Commander in Chief so as a civil and military authority he can just say that protestors can keep wreaking havoc till they get satisfied. He is called to stop that madness by any means possible before the ransacking groups kill people and destroy more lives. Who would respect a leader that doesn't even threat criminals with severe punishment if they don't listen to him?
