Black bear approaches VERY CALM hikers in Mexico
Supporters of the Denver police force clashed with a much larger anti-police protest in the city on Sunday, with marchers left bloodied and brawling in the streets. Randy Corporon, an attorney who organized the 'Back the Blue' pro-police march, said Sunday that Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen asked him to reschedule or move the pro-police rally, expressing concern that police officers would be put in harm's way by the event. The small 'Back the Blue' pro-police crowd had gathered at the Civic Center park, congregating in the amphitheater, where a band had been playing music to them. But anti-police protesters also gathered in the area, banging drums, blowing whistles, clanging pots, and shouting obscenities to drown out the pro-police rally, The Denver Post reported. Scuffles broke out among individuals on both sides. Several people were caught on camera throwing punches in isolated disputes. Law enforcement officers attempted to form a line around the two groups, but could not completely separate them.

National forecast for Monday, July 20
Three people have been killed and 24 others injured after a glacier tour bus rolled over in Canada's southern province of Alberta. The sightseeing bus was climbing up a steep, rocky road to the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park on Saturday when it suddenly plunged about 164 feet down an embankment and overturned, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Alberta Health Services said 14 of the 27 passengers were hospitalized with life-threatening head or pelvis injuries, five were in serious condition with broken bones and five others suffered minor injuries. The cause of the crash was not immediately clear and the RCMP has launched an investigation with the support of a collision analyst. A witness who watched the crash unfold told CBC News he was shocked that anyone made it out alive after the bus rolled over four or five times on its way down the embankment and multiple people were ejected from the vehicle.
โ ๏ธ Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for a community in Northern California as a wildfire has grown to several thousand acres, one of several fires burning across the state. The Lassen County Sheriff's Office said Sunday night the growth of the Hog Fire has spurred a mandatory evacuation order for the Lake Forest Estates, Phildow, and Grey Eagle Lane areas on the outskirts of Susanville, a community located about 110 miles east of Redding. Fire crews are working to establish a fire line around the Lake Forest Community, with County Road A1 closed from Gallatin Road to Highway 36. Nearby Highway 44 is also closed from A21 to Highway 36. Officials said an evacuation center has been established at Lassen Community College. CAL Fire said Monday morning that due to steep terrain and limited access, crews are having a "difficult time" gaining full containment of the Badger Fire. Evacuation orders remain in effect for the community of Hawkinsville.
Thousands of people attended a rave at a disused Royal Air Force station in the United Kingdom, with police struggling to shut it down, according to officials. Hundreds of people gathered Saturday night at the former RAF Charmy Down airfield, some three miles outside the English city of Bath. Upwards of 3,000 people were in attendance at the height of activity, the BBC reported, with hundreds still there early Sunday morning. Pictures and video showed partiers seemingly ignoring all coronavirus-safety regulations, including a lack of facial masks and social distancing. People as far away as Bristol, some 8 miles away from the airfield, said they could hear the โridiculously loud bassline.โ Avon and Somerset Police said even though despite officers arrived quickly, they were overwhelmed with โmany people at the site.โ Chief Superintendent Ian Wylie said the force was aware of a major gathering that might happen over the weekend, but had no ability to pinpoint the exact location.
