Video has emerged of a crowd swearing and chanting anti-Arab slogans in Amsterdam amid a 'violent incident' in which Israeli football fans were targeted.

This morning I got an unexpected incoming call from an inmate at an NYC correctional institution.
I had no idea who it could, be but started mentally preparing for some hardcore criminal justice reporting.
Turns out dude just dialled a wrong number!
If a student journalist pitched me this headline for this story, I'd tell them they were not cut out for journalism, @CBSNews

Let me get this straight: the NYPD opened fire on the subway yesterday in an attempt to stop a man who evaded the $2.90 fare (?), and in the process they ended up shooting him, 2 bystanders, and another cop?
The caption accompanied by the community note below is *wild*.
Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Note needed. What the mayor neglects to mention in this post is that the officer was shot by other NYPD officers. Those same NYPD officers shot two other bystanders in an attempt to apprehend someone who did not pay the $2.90 fare to ride the NY subway.

Honestly @macklemore’s “Hind’s Hall” is the most Rage Against The Machine song since Rage Against The Machine.

Incredible historical document here: Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok

Here is @katie_honan confronting @NYPDDCPI with evidence that the chain he wielded to imply that “outside agitators” barricaded Hamilton Hall is a common bike lock that @Columbia itself sold to their students
This is a shocking, shameful response from the NYPD and Columbia University. Damage will be hard if not impossible to undo. And repercussions will be felt for a long time.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."

Columbia University's student radio station WKCR is doing amazing, measured coverage right now. They're livestreaming on Instagram under @ wkcr_oncampus

If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents.
Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making.
I urge the Mayor to reverse course.
NEW - @NYCMayor says Columbia protest has been "co-opted" and is going to share their intel, he says at 1 Police Plaza. He advises students involved in the protest to leave the area and tells parents to tell their kids to leave "before the situation escalates."

AFTER LOCKING MEDICS INTO JOHN JAY, NYPD AT COLUMBIA PUSHED THREE STUDENTS DOWN THE STAIRS AND DRAGGED OUT ONE PASSED OUT STUDENT. THEY THREW ALL ITEMS DOWN THE STAIRS, ENDANGERING STUDENTS, AND PUSHED A GROUP OF FIVE THAT WERE WALKING WITHOUT RESISTING ARREST.

Just had explosive interaction w/ @Columbia’s heightened security coming onto campus. They followed me to my office & then lied, saying I didn’t scan my ID for entry (I did) & I pushed an officer (I didn’t). An ugly scene followed. They did this to me, a tenured, full professor.
