A journalist who was kicked out of a student protest at Missouri University last year after a professor asked for 'muscle' to remove him has been thrown out of another public meeting.
Mark Schierbecker, a student videographer for The College Fix, was attending a meeting of the Concerned Student 1950, a black activist group, on Wednesday when he was asked to leave.
When he refused, members of the group threatened to call police and campus security to file a 'racial bias report', before telling him: 'This is, like, once again white people being privileged.'

Footage of the incident, shot by Schierbecker, shows the meeting in the AP Chapel on Mizzou's campus, which was advertised over Twitter as a forum 'for black students and students of color'
As film of the incident begins, several white members of the press can be seen sat along the pews.
Before the meeting gets underway, a woman - who appears to be the leader of the meeting - asks: 'If there are any reporters in here, can you please exit? That was my nice warning.'
A member of the local press then stands up and questions why reporters are being asked to leave, to which the woman responds: 'Just because I asked you to. We just want to discuss some things.'


The man can then be seen handing over his business card before exiting, while two other female journalists also left, according to The College Fix.
However, Schierbecker refused to leave, starting a tense confrontation with the group, during which several of them also took out their phones and began recording.
Schierbecker can be heard saying: 'This is considered a limited public forum. It’s open to the public, and especially to students of the university.

'I am here on assignment for a story and it is my personal preference not to leave.'
The footage then cuts momentarily before coming back to show the leader of the meeting standing next to Schierbecker.
She tells him: 'This is, like, once again white people being privileged and refusing to leave our spaces.'
The woman then asks Schierbecker to lower his camera, which he agrees to, although footage is still being recorded.
As several students try to explain themselves to Schierbecker, the leader of the group again speaks up telling them: 'You don’t give him any explanation because, like, that’s not necessary.'
She then suggests phoning the police in order to file a 'racial bias incident report', adding that 'I just don't have the time or the patience.'
When Schierbecker asks if she is referring to him, she responds: 'I'm not talking to you.'

After a short altercation, Schierbecker tells the group that he is recording 'for my own safety', saying that he wants to keep a record for police.
That statement appears to anger some of the group who raise their voices at him, though other members do ask them to quieten down.
After a brief and heated exchange with the group, Schierbecker again repeats that he will put the camera away, provided the police are not called.
However, before authorities arrive the group decide to move their meeting to a more private location, at which point they get up and leave.
According to Schierbecker, police and campus security never arrived to speak with him, and he received no follow-up call.

This is the second time Schierbecker has got into trouble with demonstrators on campus after he tried to film a tent city set up as part of protests that ousted college president Tim Wolfe last year.
On that occasion Schierbecker was confronted by then-assistant communications professor Melissa Click, who told protesters: 'Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? I need some muscle over here.'
She has since been suspended and charged with assault over the incident, which Schierbecker also caught on film, and which has been viewed millions of times online.

Police sniffer dog spotted at harbourside public pool

Police sniffer dogs spotted patrolling at popular harbourside public pool spark outrage over Sydney's 'nanny state'
NSW Police and an English Springer Spaniel spotted at a public pool
An image taken at Andrew Boy Charlton Pool, Sydney is circulating online
It's unclear when it was taken or if the dog was for drug or bomb detection
Outrage is exploding on social media at the 'nanny state'


Outrage over the ‘nanny state’ has reignited after a sniffer dog was photographed patrolling the banks of a harbourside public pool in the middle of the day.
Locals and tourists were working on their tan and enjoying a dip at Andrew Boy Charlton Pool when they were scrutinised by NSW Police and an English Springer Spaniel, 2DAY FM reported.
An image of the unusual event began circulating social media at the weekend and has prompted new calls for the fun police to hand Sydney back.

The picture was originally posted to Instagram and appears to have been deleted, but was then shared to a private Facebook account.
‘Welcome to Sydney The Nanny State Police & sniffer dogs now patrolling our pools during the day , What’s next ?? [sic],’ the caption alongside the image reads.


Many critics have speculated that the sniffer dogs were merely there to intimidate, while some suggested the dogs may have been there for bomb detection rather than to sniff for drugs.
Others pointed out that sniffer dogs frequent areas like Newtown railway station and the streets of Redfern - suggesting Andrew Boy Charlton Pool should be no different.
A NSW Police spokeswoman was unable to confirm when the image was taken, what the dogs were detecting or why.

The spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia English Springer Spaniels are used for both drug and firearm detection.
NSW Police are looking into the incident, the spokeswoman said.
The pool is one of Sydney’s treasures. It backs onto the Royal Botanical Gardens and overlooks the Sydney Harbour with the Art Gallery of NSW by its side.
The affects the Sydney lockout laws have had on business, tourism and live music have come to the fore over recent days after businessman Matt Barrie published an epic 8,400 rant which went viral.
On Saturday evening, the owners of wine bar 10 William Street in inner-Sydney Paddington posted on Instagram that NSW Police said pouring wine by the glass promotes ‘unsavoury antisocial behaviour’.
‘SYDNEY WHAT THE F*** IS HAPPENING,’ the post continued.
