Funny, I just noticed that each of these comments has the option to flag as "Inappropriate"-

Thanks, mdy, all good points. If blocking acts as a signal to Twitter Support, that's not bad, but it doesn't specifically address the problem. If a user spots a highly offensive tweet, for example, he/she ought to be able to bring that directly to someone's attention immediately instead of waiting for the community to vote. -

Need simple mechanism to report racism, violence and other inappropriate contentWhy doesn't Twitter have flagging of individual tweets and users? There seems to be no interest in helping users who are confronted with offensive content. This is not mentioned in the help pages, there are no negative flagging conventions, and there is no easy way to report this kind of TOS violation.
Other sites, like YouTube and Craig's List make this very simple. Here is a screen grab of YouTube's categories of flags:
