TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.
PROBLEM: Comment: JJ, But it does bring up a rather interesting thought or two. It seems now that if a black is shot and killed by police it brings immediate protesting and usually some level of rioting regardless of justification or lack thereof. Additionally, there is no protesting when anyone of another race is shot and killed by police.

To me, this reaction is the issue that the BLM can't overcome for it to become a popular movement. Dragging the anthem and flag into it doesn't help, I believe it to actually hurt the movement and spurs letters like above.

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: "Everybody is struggling to find people,"

Why lie about it? People are there and ready to go to work. Automation through robotics is moving forward, but don't kid yourself why. It saves money, it needs no explanation or ridiculous reason. It is inevitable. The world is changing and it is going to get dire for many who don't move with the changes. We just built a piece of automation where I work. One machine with 4 $32K robots used to build batteries for heart conditions replaced 60 employees. I have been building automation systems for the last 30 years.

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: Murder, murder and taking the life of people that are loved and lost, the perp forfeits his freedom for the balance of his life. Too bad we don't kill them anymore. But I'll settle for life with no parole.

SOLUTION:
Threat
