What about songs like kill the police by ice tea. A direct call to action exists / police have been killed but he still is free to act in police dramas?


If we took “progressive” politics out of it but retained that we need to remove “violence” from discourse, yes they would have to be banned from Twitter.

Progressive politics will say we have to consider the background of the singer and the audience as mitigating circumstance so they might let it slide.

Objectively it would have to be banned if we use Twitter’s new rubric.


(fyi the song is Cop Killer by Ice-T.)
