The rally had few issues. But after it ended, CMPD sprayed marchers with pepper spray “to gain compliance” of people pushing police.

Event organizers say a total of nearly 5,500 people gathered in First Ward Park for the 'No Kings' rally and protest Saturday afternoon. The crowd packed into the park carrying signs towering over the crowd with clear messages.

Following a week of protests across the country, nearly a dozen rallies are planned for the area this weekend, including one in downtown Raleigh.

Organizers of the “No Kings” demonstrations said millions had marched in hundreds of events. In Oregon, tens of thousands of people gathered in downtown Portland for two large protests -- one that began in Tom McCall Waterfront Park and the other at the Oregon Convention Center.

Protesters lined the streets of Southwest Florida, joining a nationwide demonstration against President Donald Trump. The "No Kings Protest" drew significant crowds in Fort Myers, East Naples, and Port Charlotte. In Fort Myers, protesters gathered at the intersection of Daniels Parkway and U.S. Highway 41.

Millions were expected to gather in “No Kings” demonstrations in over 1,500 cities on Saturday, the same day the Army is celebrating its 250th anniversary on Trump’s birthday.

Hundreds gather at the Statehouse to take part in the "No Kings" rally -- one of many happening across the U.S. on Saturday.

After the conclusion of the rally, a smaller group of approximately 200 individuals, who were not affiliated with the event organizers, remained in the Uptown area and engaged in additional marches resulting in two arrests.
