District of Columbia police are refusing to help George Washington University re-establish order on campus.
On Thursday Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said there had been “no violent behavior, no confrontations” and so police wouldn’t be coming to campus. “We allow people the opportunity to have freedom of speech, and that’s what we’re seeing right now.”--WSJ

The return of the 'little guy.' Government crime is going populist.
FT has some stories about Russia's efforts to bring vandalism, petty crime, and well-poisoning to a state level.
Two German-Russian nationals were arrested in Bayreuth, Bavaria, for allegedly plotting to attack military and logistics sites in Germany on behalf of Russia.
Two men were charged in the UK in late April with having started a fire at a warehouse containing aid shipments for Ukraine. English prosecutors accuse them of working for the Russian government.
In Sweden, security services are investigating a series of recent railway derailments, which they suspect may be acts of state-backed sabotage. Russia has attempted to destroy the signaling systems on Czech railways.
In Estonia, an attack on the interior minister’s car in February and those of journalists were perpetrated by Russian intelligence operatives, the country’s Internal Security Service has said.
France’s Ministry of Defense also warned this year of possible sabotage attacks by Russia on military sites.
Questions have been raised over a so-far unexplained explosion at a BAE Systems munitions factory in Wales that supplies shells used by Ukraine.
In October 2014 a Czech arms depot where weapons for Kyiv were being stored was destroyed; Russian military intelligence agents were later revealed to have planted explosives at the site.
A huge fire broke out on Friday at a factory in Berlin owned by the arms company Diehl, which also supplies Ukraine.
