Ayatollah Khamenei has a Twitter account and he regularly uses it to troll the United States. Whereas before the Ayatollah would only be able to blast the United States in speeches, he can criticize with the Twitter account, which is unverified. Even though it is unverified, it still seen as the official account for the Ayatollah and is cited by numerous news organizations as such.
One point that the Ayatollah has especially been pressing on is police brutality. The Ayatollah has used his Twitter account several times to blast the United States and its police departments as racist and tyrants who kill innocent blacks. He frequently uses hashtags of the names of those killed and the hashtag, #BlackLives Matter.
Power & tyranny are different. In some countries like US, police are seemingly powerful but they kill innocents. #FreddieGray #RekiaBoyd

On false pretexts US police shoots ppl on streets. This is a type of power which doesn’t ensure security but leads to insecurity. #MikeBrown — Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) April 26, 2015

Even abolition of #slavery in #US wasn’t based on humanitarian intents but on North-South wars & conflict b/t landowners & industrialists. — Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) April 26, 2015
Power with cruelty isn’t favored by #Islam. #Police should embody justice and mercy while being potent. pic.twitter.com/EAFn2ybpLm

Of course, this is coming from a man who has used Twitter to call for the annihilation of Israel.
