Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s retweet of incorrect facts regarding the unrest in Minneapolis doesn’t fall under the social-media company’s new label system for disputed or misleading tweets.

Dorsey, who founded Twitter in 2006, retweeted comments from St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter which incorrectly stated every person arrested in connection with unrest in the Minneapolis area on Friday evening was “from out of state.”

An online search of the Hennepin County jail log conducted by Fox 9 in Minneapolis showed an “overwhelming majority” of people arrested in connection with the unrest had Minnesota addresses. The search found 38 of 45 people that were arrested live in Minnesota. The company did not directly comment on Dorsey's retweet of the NBC News report.

Honestly - I don’t care if Twitter or its staff has a bias - I care that they use that bias to suppress speech on Twitter they dislike.

Just because they are not out of state doesn’t mean they were not bussed in. It’s a big state.
