LOS ANGELES—Twitter has suspended the account @killercops1984 for violating its rules and policies against inciting violence against police officers, Los Angeles Police Protective League officials said March 27, the week after the union took legal action against the owner of a website that lists bounties for the killing of police officers.
“We are appreciative of Twitter acting swiftly to take down this dangerous website that called for the murder of Los Angeles police officers,” Craig Lally, president of the union that represents Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers, said in a statement.
