The Fresno Police Department is investigating whether one of its officers is affiliated with a hate group connected to the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January.
The investigation follows allegations that the officer participated, while off-duty, in a counter-protest against groups opposing the sale of the Tower Theatre on Sunday.
At times, the competing demonstrations led to heated words between various groups. While there was plenty of shouting and at least one instance of a foot being run over by a scooter, there was no other physical altercations. Police on hand were able to maintain order.
Myanmar s elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior ruling party figures were detained in morning raids on Monday amid fears of a military coup following a disputed election, her National League for Democracy (NLD) party said. The Myanmar army said it had carried out the detentions in response to election fraud , according to a statement on a military-owned television station. A military spokesman did not answer phone calls seeking further comment. Phone lines to the capital Naypyitaw were not reachable and state TV went off air hours before parliament had been due to sit for the first time since the NLD s landslide election win in November, viewed as a referendum on Suu Kyi s fledgling democratic government.
