Glenn Reynolds, a law professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, had his Twitter account temporarily suspended on Wednesday night, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports. Mr. Reynolds, who has more than 66,000 followers at @instapundit, wrote a tweet suggesting that motorists in Charlotte, N.C., should run over protesters.
Furious protests have taken hold in Charlotte since Keith Lamont Scott was shot to death by the police on Tuesday.
Mr. Reynolds told the newspaper that he had written the tweet. The suspension was lifted on Thursday morning after he deleted it. The dean of the university’s law school, Melanie D. Wilson, said in a written statement that the university was investigating the matter.
