HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA) — For the second time in just two days, police were called to Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – this time to break up a brawl. The fight was reported at 11:25 p.m. Thursday, but when Los Angeles police officers got to the scene, everyone involved had already cleared out. The brawl, however, was caught on cell phone video and posted to Twitter. Witnesses say Trump supporters had shown up to take pictures with the new star. When anti-Trump supporters showed up, the two groups began arguing, then a fight broke out. No arrests in this incidents have been made. Thursday night’s fight is the second time the president’s star on the Walk of Fame — received while he was a producer and the host of “The Apprentice” – has required a police response. Early Wednesday morning, a man was seen taking a pick ax to the star , destroying it for the second time in two years. A man identified as Austin Clay turned himself in to the Beverly Hills Police Department about an hour later, claiming to have been the person who destroyed the star. He faces charges of felony vandalism.

GLENDALE (CBSLA) — An off-duty Los Angeles Police officer has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol after he was involved in a car crash in Glendale. Officer Ramon Muniz, 44, was driving one of two vehicles that collided near the intersection of Sinclair Avenue and East Chevy Chase Boulevard just before 2 p.m. Thursday. Muniz and the driver exchanged insurance information, but the woman involved called police believing she had not received enough information from him.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – In an effort to humanize law enforcement, police officers across the country are competing in “Cop Pool Karaoke” and lip sync battles. We begin with the Boston Police Department , whose rendition of “God Bless America” went viral: Well played, BPD. But naturally, the NYPD had a response . Last week, Police Commissioner James O’Neill shared a video of two officers singing Katy Perry’s “Firework” in their patrol car: Here you go, @bostonpolice . Everyone have an outstanding #July4th2018 — we'll all just keep singing, while fighting crime and keeping people safe. Thanks for the inspiration, @katyperry , @CarpoolKaraoke and @JKCorden . Enjoy the fireworks … and #GodBlessAmerica . pic.twitter.com/67OSRdKMUp — Commissioner O'Neill (@NYPDONeill) July 4, 2018 In Texas, lip sync battles have have gone statewide . The brother of Patrick Zamarripa, one of five Dallas police officers killed in an ambush in 2016 , shared a video of the fallen officer dancing to music in his patrol car. The video was recorded several years before his death. “My brother would have instantly accepted the challenge, because in my post I said in an alternate universe he would accept the challenge,” Carlos Zamarripa said. The Arlington Police Department invited CBS Dallas-Fort Worth to film the making of its challenge at a Dunkin’ Donuts: “What a great way for us to interact with the public in a different manner, and, for example, making these types of videos. It puts officers in a different light, it’s really positive for our department, and it allows us to reach folks that sometimes we normally wouldn’t reach through the use of making a funny video like this,” said Lt. Chris Cook. Their video has since been posted to Facebook and viewed more than 100,000 times.
