The article says he was suspected of hate crime assault. Then the police has a duty to act.

Edit: While I said "duty" I meant that I really hope the that the police investigate all allegations of hate crime assault properly.

"reduced to a misdemeanor of second degree aggravated harassment" so it looks like the charge was exaggerated in the 1st place. The media and authorities tend to portray Zionist provocateurs as the second coming of Anne Frank when they get into trouble. Something similar happened when Israeli soccer hooligans got roughed up in Amsterdam.
