NAIROBI, Kenya — The death toll from Kenya's anti-government protests on Monday has surged to 31, marking the highest single-day toll since the demonstrations began earlier this year, the state-funded human rights commission said Tuesday.
It said another 107 people were injured and more than 500 were arrested amid widespread destruction of property, including supermarkets. The arrest figure largely tracked with the one issued by police. The death toll did not say whether any security forces were included.

Law roundup: Here comes, and goes, the rooster

Jul. 11—Someone had questions about a loud rooster residing at a house and what the "rooster ordinances" were within city limits. Kalispell Police officers spoke with the owner of the expressive rooster, who said she would get rid of it within the week. Someone allegedly found a parrot on the wild streets of Kalispell. A woman reportedly headbutted someone's daughter. A man allegedly woke up and was startled by a drunk man on the couch. The stranger moved on to the apartment complex's laundry room. Police received a call from a woman wondering about the department's policy in "handling subjects with diplomatic immunity" and wanted an officer to call to verify her immunity status. A man went to the hospital after his allegedly jammed gun went off. He shot himself in the hand. A manager flagged down an officer, pointing to a red Subaru with a shattered windshield in the parking lot, saying he wanted it gone. A woman sitting inside the building reportedly complained, saying she just got there and was being "profiled." The officer advised her she had a suspended license and shouldn't be driving but needed to have the car moved. A woman's son reportedly threw a soda at her and hit her in the face. A woman cut off a green Ford hatchback that allegedly started tailgating her, trying to run her off the road. A transient reportedly set up a camp with a "blanket hut" and a shopping cart by an overpass. Someone called officers, suspicious about a man seen checking car doors, thinking he may have stolen something because in security footage, his backpack looked askew and "different." Someone complained that a woman in her 50s would speed down Liberty Street, near a day care, in a beat-up silver car with a loud muffler, every morning. Officers called the woman multiple times to warn her about speeding with no answer. A customer was suspicious of a box truck that allegedly had no license plates. A man was reportedly tired of a homeless woman coming to his house asking for shoes and food after being told to stay away and wanted officers to tell her she could be cited for trespassing if she returned. A dealership allegedly refused to return a $500 deposit.
