Twitter locked then restored Matthew Foldi's account reportedly for posting a video of a cop pursuing an armed gunman: Matthew Foldi, a staff writer for The Washington Free Beacon, tweeted bodycam footage of a Chicago police officer who pursued and shot an "armed gunman running towards @UChicago's campus." Brent Scher the executive editor for the Washington Free Beacon tweeted that Twitter locked Foldi's account in connection to the video post. Twitter restored his account the following day and claimed "Our support team has reviewed your account and it appears that we made an error. We've determined that there was no violation and have restored your account to full functionality," according to a screenshot tweeted by Foldi.
