The service that hosts the accounts of all branches of the US military, all major weapons contractors, all three letter agencies, and many foreign militaries, governments, and world leaders guilty of all manner of war crimes, and this is where they draw the line for violence. Really interesting.

Well, in political science and sociology, one of the most common definitions of the state is that it possesses a monopoly on legitimate/lawful violence.

Violence conducted via the military or police, according to regulation, is lawful.

But violence conducted by citizens, or by members of the government or military that is not according to law/regulation, is not lawful.

I'm not saying Twitter's drawing the line exactly right, but it's somewhere in the right vicinity.

"Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts"

I think Trump's saying that if things get out of control, law enforcement will start shooting. If I understand your post correctly, this would be lawful...
