That's a rather silly thing for an adult to ask. There's multiple reasons why a police report is more official than a tweet. * A police report is a legal document. * A tweet can be removed by either its poster or by the platform's operator after it's been posted, while only the police can make a report disappear. * You can tweet at someone anything you want and they don't have to accept it to receive it, while the police can refuse to accept an unfounded report. An insurance company might require a police report be filed before accepting a claim, but it would not accept a tweet as a substitute.
