Objection/question withdrawn.
I've changed my mind. Sorry, but I do that rather easily. I just read "put down" my way, and wasn't aware that "put down a protest" used to be perfectly valid idiom. It's archaic now, probably driven out of use by how "put down the horse" has the meaning of kill.
"Put down a protest" still has a sinister note to it, implying bodies on the ground when it's done. This is another way it's archaic, we don't want that to happen every time the police try to suppress a protest. A century ago maybe that was perfectly acceptable.
Still not nice, but not something you'd be warned for. Calling for people's deaths is over the line, but calling for police to use plenty of force on protesters ... I'm really not sure.
I think you have grounds to appeal, at least. If you misused a single word in a way that was offensive, no chance. But an idiom, which does all alternative uses, might be a different matter.
Oh my, I do rattle on. I'd appeal if I were you. Sorry if I implied you were stupid, or speechless, or pretending to be speechless. My own idioms go wrong sometimes too!

He also has the fund to invest in poorer neighborhoods and create jobs so that people are not pushed to crime by desperation. It just seems that Bruce Wayne for all his genius does not understand the best way to fight crime.

I am fairly certain Bruce Wayne has bought out slums and redeveloped them into luxury condos.

I now have the urge to right a batman comic where Batman is the evil madman. Bruce Wayne is a controversial real estate developer known for buying high crime areas and Batman is his alter ego that pushes criminals into areas he wants to develop driving the price so low Bruce Wayne can buy it for a song. Then once Bruce buys the property Batman appears and drives the Criminals out allowing Bruce to attract investment and huge profit.
The Jack Napier ("Joker") is a social worker, that does stand up comedy as a side job, who has almost pieced together the truth when Bruce bribed a judge to have locked up in an asylum.
Harley Quin is a therapist in a committed relationship with Biologist Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley (Poison Ivy), that Bruce has stripped of her license (on the grounds of sex with a patient) to keep her from meeting with her patient the Joker and piecing together the truth about Batman.
