MICHAEL BALSAMO and MATTHEW BARAKAT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. law enforcement officials vowed "even greater law enforcement resources and support" in the nation's capital Tuesday night to respond to protests, as one local county pulled its officers out, saying they were used "for a purpose not worthy of our mutual aid obligations." Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said she never requested help from neighboring jurisdictions to quell demonstrations over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota. She said D.C. o...
STEVE PEOPLES AP National Political Writer Voters across America navigated curfews and health concerns Tuesday in a slate of primary elections amid dueling national crises as Joe Biden looked to move closer to formally clinching the Democratic presidential nomination.

MATTHEW DALY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Republicans continued Tuesday to avoid any criticism of President Donald Trump, though a handful of GOP senators spoke out against police use of tear gas to clear peaceful demonstrators from a park near the White House so Trump could walk to a nearby church and pose with a Bible. "There is no right to riot, no right to destroy others' property ... but there is a fundamental — a Constitutional — right to protest, and I'm against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously today to discuss the reorganization of the county's fire protection and emergency medical services into two separate agencies at its July 7 meeting. The reorganization would allow more flexibility for, and accountability of, dependent fire and medical services in the county's unincorporated areas, Supervisor Jim Desmond said. One of the agencies would be the Fire Protection District, which would provide fire services to the jurisdictions within the...
LA MESA (CNS) - The family of a San Diego grandmother who reportedly was shot in the face by a law enforcement rubber bullet, suffering severe injuries, during a weekend police brutality protest in La Mesa plans today to call for the officer involved to be held responsible.

BRIAN MELLEY and KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday he welcomed the rage of protesters as long as they are peaceful, but he denounced unnamed groups of anarchists and others who used the demonstrations to tag graffiti on buildings, burn banks, shatter store windows and run off with armloads of goods. "The looting, the violence, the threats against fellow human beings: That has no place in this state and in this nation," Newsom said. "Those that want to express themselves and hav...
Throughout January, the World Health Organization publicly praised China for what it called a speedy response to the new coronavirus. It repeatedly thanked the Chinese government for sharing the genetic map of the virus "immediately," and said its work and commitment to transparency were "very impressive, and beyond words." But behind the scenes, it was a much different story, one of significant delays by China and considerable frustration among WHO officials over not getting...
KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) — Democratic governors of some of the nation's most populous states on Monday pushed back against President Donald Trump's threat to deploy the U.S. military unless they dispatch National Guard units to "dominate the streets" in reaction to the violence that has erupted across the country. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he doesn't believe the federal government can send military troops into his state. He accused the president of creating an "incendiary moment" by threatening...
ELANA SCHOR Associated Press The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington sharply criticized President Donald Trump for staging a visit to the historic St. John's Church across from the White House, where he held up a Bible after authorities had cleared the area of peaceful protesters.

JILL COLVIN and DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — It began with Attorney General Bill Barr standing with his hands casually in his pockets, not wearing a tie, surveying the scene at Lafayette Park across from the White House, where several thousand protesters had gathered for more demonstrations after the police killing of George Floyd.

ASHRAF KHALIL, AARON MORRISON and MATT SEDENSKY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A country convulsed by violent protests picked up the pieces Monday and braced for more trouble amid a coast-to-coast outpouring of rage over police killings of black people.

JONATHAN LEMIRE, ZEKE MILLER and ALAN SUDERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday derided many governors as "weak" and demanded tougher crackdowns on burning and stealing among some demonstrations in the aftermath of another night of violent protests in dozens of American cities.

COLLEEN LONG, ZEKE MILLER and MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials sought to determine Sunday whether extremist groups had infiltrated police brutality protests across the country and deliberately tipped largely peaceful demonstrations toward violence — and if foreign adversaries were behind a burgeoning disinformation campaign on social media. As demonstrations spread from Minneapolis to the White House, New York City and overseas, federal law enforcement officials insisted far-left groups wer...
JONATHAN LEMIRE and ZEKE MILLER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Secret Service agents rushed President Donald Trump to a White House bunker on Friday night as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the executive mansion, some of them throwing rocks and tugging at police barricades.

JAY REEVES and KAT STAFFORD Associated Press As protests grip the nation, officers have doused crowds with pepper spray, struck protesters with batons, steered police cars into throngs, shoved demonstrators and screamed curses. Some police action has been directed against people smashing windows, breaking into stores and burning cars, but many find other instances more difficult to understand — like the elderly man knocked over by police as he walked with a cane on a Salt Lake City sidewalk. The protests began after the M...
ASHRAF KHALIL, AARON MORRISON and TIM SULLIVAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets across America again Sunday, with peaceful demonstrations against police killings of black people overshadowed by unrest that ravaged cities from Philadelphia to Los Angeles and flared near the White House.

MICHAEL BALSAMO and KATHLEEN HENNESSEY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — As protests over the death of George Floyd grow in cities across the U.S., government officials have been warning of the "outsiders" -- groups of organized rioters they say are flooding into major cities not to call for justice but to cause destruction. But the state and federal officials have offered differing assessments of who the outsiders are. They've blamed left-wing extremists, far-right white nationalists and even suggested the involvement of d...
BRIAN MELLEY and JOHN SEEWER Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — The mayor of Atlanta, one of dozens of U.S. cities hit by massive protests after the police killing of a black man, has a message for demonstrators: "If you were out protesting last night, you probably need to go get a COVID test this week."

It's also an issue from Paris to Hong Kong, where a...
