Iran Press/ America: "An Arkansas police chief has resigned after he posted messages on a right-wing social media site that appeared to urge people to assault 'Marxist Democrats' over the presidential election," the mayor said.
Kevin Elliot, the mayor of Marshall, a city of roughly 1,200 people about 100 miles north of Little Rock, said in a statement Saturday that he condemned the comments by Police Chief Lang Holland.
"The Marshall community does not in any way support or condone bullying or threats of violence to anyone of any political persuasion," he said. "We are a welcoming community that is humbly working to build a bright future for all our citizens."
While the US presidential election was underway, many in the United States were worried about widespread social unrest following the announcement of the results.
