What to do when you see violent rhetoric, how to report threats responsibly, and where to find support.

What to Do When You See Violent Rhetoric

Responding responsibly can help protect lives without amplifying harm.

If You See a Credible Threat Online:

1
Don't Amplify It

Don't quote-tweet it. Don't repost screenshots publicly. Amplification can inspire copycats and spread fear.

2
Document Responsibly

Take a screenshot and save the URL with timestamp. This preserves evidence without spreading the threat.

3
Report to the Platform

Use the platform's reporting tools. Most social media sites have specific options for reporting threats of violence.

4
If Someone Is in Immediate Danger

Contact local law enforcement immediately. Call 911 if you believe someone's life is at risk.

Important: This site does not provide legal advice. If you're unsure how to respond to a specific situation, consult with law enforcement or a legal professional.

How to Share Information Responsibly

Do:

  • Share stories that humanize officers and their families
  • Link to this site when discussing the impact of violent rhetoric
  • Encourage civil discourse and policy debate
  • Report threats through proper channels, not social media

Don't:

  • Repost or amplify specific threats (even to condemn them)
  • Share identifying information about officers or their families
  • Engage with bad actors—report and move on
  • Use dehumanizing language about anyone—even those you disagree with
