Girl, 16, charged with assaulting police amid unrest
A 16-year-old girl has been charged with assaulting a police officer amid disorder in Salford that saw cars set on fire and bricks being hurled. About 50 to 60 people gathered during the disturbance in the city's Lower Broughton Road at about 13:30 BST, Greater Manchester Police said. Two men have been arrested on suspicion of possessing a weapon, while two others were held on suspicion of drugs offences and theft. The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with assaulting an emergency worker and has been bailed to appear in court at a later date. The force said cars were stolen and set on fire, motorbikes were being ridden erratically and bricks were thrown at officers, while wheelie bins and cars were used to block off the road. A police vehicle's windscreen was smashed, it added. A video shared on social media appeared to show a Fiat 500 reversing at speed along the road with its boot open, as another car followed it. Supt Marcus Noden said there had been "no further incidents" since the unrest earlier but officers had "robust plans in place should any further incidents arise in the area". He added: "We are aware of speculation online that this incident is linked to immigration. This is categorically incorrect. "This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated and we took robust and appropriate action. "A large number of officers will be remaining in the area overnight as a precaution." Those arrested include: A boy, 16, has been arrested on suspicion of theft and public order offences A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and drug possession Two more men - aged 18 and 19 - were arrested on suspicion of possessing a weapon A dispersal order remains in place until 14:00 BST on Thursday.

Seattle's police chief says he expects to be arrested for supporting protests
Seattle's newly appointed Police Chief, Shon Barnes, says he will do whatever it takes to protect the First Amendment rights of residents. The comments were made during a Seattle City Council Public Safety Committee meeting this week. He also spoke about how the department will handle protests in response to immigration enforcement by the federal government. 'At some point, I will probably go to jail and be in prison because we have an administration that has threatened to jail politicians,' Barnes said. The comments were made the same day that protesters gathered outside the city's federal building and clashed with officers. The safety committee meeting appearance was part of Barnes' confirmation as police chief. He was appointed to the position in December by Mayor Bruce Harrell and was sworn in in January. He came from Wisconsin, where he served as Chief of Police for over 4 years.
