UPDATE PER NYPD: Midtown Manhattan descended into chaos after Knicks Game 5.
Ten officers injured. One punched in the face, another struck with a glass bottle.
A shooting at 43rd and Broadway wounded a 17-year-old. Crowds took over 43rd Street so completely that no ambulance could reach the scene, so NYPD drove the victim to the hospital. Officers recovered a firearm and took three people of interest into custody.
Four slashings and stabbings.
Crowds torched five school buses that were shuttling fans from Manhattan to MetLife Stadium for the World Cup.
Five NYPD vehicles wrecked. People swung bats at the cars, jumped on the roofs, and smashed front and back windshields. Crowds destroyed multiple personal vehicles too.
People set off fireworks inside packed crowds, climbed light poles, traffic signals, and scaffolding, and brawled in the street. Crowds blocked avenues for hours and refused to disperse.
63 arrested. Charges include assault on a police officer, criminal possession of a gun, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstruction of governmental administration.

@AmoneyResists Yes, the federal government must pay for services from non- government contractors.
What else do you resist, besides education, logic, and common sense?
A Berkeley history professor says heβs cut assigned reading from 100 pages a week to just 35.
Another said that a course which once required students to read seven full books now consists entirely of excerpts.
βWe are now reaching a crisis point where if the number of pages goes down further, itβs unclear to me whether my discipline of history can really be taught.β
The attention span crisis is a civilization crisis.
