San Francisco police are prepping for a pro-Trump rally at Twitter headquarters tomorrow (UP: Massive throng of 1 person showed up)

[fluffydelusions]

San Francisco police are preparing for a pro-Trump protest at Twitter's headquarters, a building which has been essentially abandoned since the start of the pandemic last year, with most Twitter employees working remotely.

The potential protest comes days after Twitter banned the President from using its service — his favorite form of communication to millions of followers — following what the company called his continued incitements to violence in the wake of the January 6th assault on the Capitol last week by a mob of his followers.

"The San Francisco Police Department is aware of the possibility of a demonstration on the 1300 block of Market Street (Twitter) tomorrow, Monday January 11, 2021. SFPD has been in contact with representatives from Twitter.

Oh, this is bad. This could get really bad if the local police think Twitter deserves retribution. Like, really really bad.

 

[Curler]

My friend was just talking about this. Hope nothing goes down, but at least they are getting prepared :/

 

[SnatcherHunter]

They better prepared themselves. Enough of this BS.

Most everyone is WFH at least.

No one's there because of the pandemic. They'll be yelling at no one

Leadership =/= the actual police who are gonna be on the street guarding the protest.

 

[BossAttack]

Let's see if SFPD intentionally drops the ball as bad as the Capitol Police.

they probably misunderstood it but in an accurate way lmfao. 84% of cops voted trump in 2016, 8% voted for a third party candidate. only the remaining 8% voted for clinton

Security guards, maintenance people might be there.

Literally impossible because everyone at Twitter is WFH. So there's no one to threaten inside the building.

 

[BLEEN]

Bring in the Guard.

 

[Joshua]

Twitter should be a full work from home workforce right now, right?

 

[Kyou]

Oh I initially read that that the police would be the ones protesting

Yes, the office is basically empty right now

They are.

 

[aliengmr]

Prepping to help them get inside probably.

 

[metalslimer]

Whatever few employees are in person should just stay at home

Correct

 

[TaySan]

Hopefully, it's all just cheap talk and it's a small crowd.

 

[Netherscourge]

Can't imagine the level of humanoid that will show up to this terrorist rally.

 

[Curler]

Yes, the office is basically empty right now

In that case, it's just yelling at clouds then :/ Was worried about maybe a skeleton crew inside or something, in case anything goes south.

 

[Alvis]

I read the title as "San Francisco police are prepping a pro-Trump rally..."

Somehow, noticing the actual title surprised me more than my initial misreading

 

[mattlikewhoa]

So... these people are going to heard down, in order to yell at an empty building?

Okay? 🤷🏾‍♂️

 

[Supercrap]

You don't let them get away with jackshit so they don't think about coming back out here. The bay area doesn't need these assholes to feel welcome for a minute

 

[Imperfected]

Oh no, their physical blockade will stop the tweets from getting out.

 

[walkinfast]

Watch them try to knock down the doors to get in and make someone restore Trump's account.

 

[DukeBlueBall]

San Francisco? Good luck.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Twitter should publicly unban Trump, and ban him again

 

[Gouty]

Great day to call in sick for anyone still working at HQ.

Let em stand outside and scream at an empty building, add a couple more dip shits to the no fly list, lock a few more up.

 

[El Bombastico]

$10 says most of these morons don't even know the office is empty.

It's literally this

 

[Netherscourge]

Knowing ahead of time that the FBI is looking for them and the city is planning for the worst, I would think whoever does show up to this will likely be of the more fringe and dangerous types. You can't be stable to keep going at this point.

SF better take this seriously and have all hands on deck.

 

[SasaBassa]

Get Cali's national guard up in their ass and these chucklefucks will go home quick.

 

[hitme]

like I mentioned in the other thread yesterday.

One step into the Tenderloin (one block away) and they're in the absolute wrong neighborhood.

Never forget. San Jose don't play around with these fucks 😤😤😤😤

 

[wenis]

Yes. Protest that abandoned building.

 

[LGHT_TRSN]

WFH or not I have to imagine Twitter at least needs security there if they have any vulnerable infrastructure in that office.

 

[Duncan]

Not in my back yard, fuck off.

Also, they are in for a VERY rude awakening if any of those MAGA chuds sets foot around the Tenderloin.

 

[Kernel]

Will they chain themselves to the door Laura Loomer style and leave later?

 

[Ocean Panda]

The SFPD are the most inept police force I've ever encountered. They'll literally stand there looking the other direction while a crime occurs right in front of them. I'm not exaggerating, I've seen it happen routinely. I hope they get some kind of support or at least send the A team because I cannot imagine them being remotely effective against an actual threat.

 

[0h-so-Cold]

Is this what it will be from now on? People that want disruption?

 

[Sectorseven]

Are the servers in that building?

 

[Deleted member 11976]

This almost seems like a trap to bait counter protesters out. (I hope nobody thinks Twitter is worth potentially losing life or limb over.)

Lol yep, make a wrong turn and they are getting thrown the fuck out

Like all of them? Of course not

 

[JigglesBunny]

Bunch of geniuses, storming an empty building while everyone is working from home.

Fucking morons.

 

[PS9]

They're probably organising it using Twitter.
