What happened

Susan Sarandon, Hannah Einbinder among more than 100 detained during anti-Netanyahu protest outside UN By Laura Sharman, CNN (CNN) — Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon and Hacks star Hannah Einbinder were among dozens of protesters detained Thursday in New…

Why it matters

NYPD said it took 103 people into custody as it tried to break up a group participating in a sit-in protest on First Avenue, just a few blocks from the UN headquarters, ahead of Netanyahu’s remarks to the UN General Assembly.

Common ground

Video from the scene showed officers zip-tying Sarandon and Einbinder’s hands and directing them toward an NYPD bus.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
