The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

Louisville was one of about 2,000 cities set to protest the Trump administration on June 14, including more than a dozen Kentucky communities.

Across the country, relatively few disruptions were reported during protests and marches where the mood ranged from joyful to defiant.
