Our team spent long hours reporting on and around Columbia’s campus on Thursday & Friday. I want to clear some stuff up. I didn’t see a single instance of violence or aggression on the lawn or at the student encampment. The student-led protest was peaceful and often very quiet… The students I met were mostly praying, eating, holding signs. Other students walked by the encampment throughout the afternoon. Never saw anyone bother or harass them.

Uvalde city meeting getting heated right now. Mayor calls reporters at the @statesman & KVUE “chicken” and “unprofessional” for releasing new video footage before the families were able to see it first. A resident shot back, asking him if he thinks the cops are chickens. You can watch it here: uvaldetx.civicweb.net/document/16034…
