Thousands gathered for the No Kings protest at the Michigan State Capitol building in Lansing on Saturday, June 14.
The "No Kings" protests were scheduled in Connecticut as early as 9:30 a.m. in Canton and Glastonbury and could last elsewhere until 6 p.m.
The protest was one of thousands planned across the country in opposition to President Donald Trump's 79th birthday and a military parade.
Protests at the Rhode Island State House, India Point Park and across RI radiated defiance on the president's 79th birthday.
At least 1,500 "No Kings" protests nationwide are planned Saturday on the same day President Donald Trump scheduled a large-scale military parade in Washington, D.C. on Flag Day and his 79th birthday.
Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.
The LAPD said on social media that the people in the crowd were throwing "rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects" while they were near the federal building.
