Peaceful demonstrations in downtown LA escalate to violent confrontation with police using tear gas as protesters throw objects, prompting warnings from LAPD and Homeland Security.

Protesters gathered in hundreds of cities across the US to oppose President Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday, as he held a military parade in Washington.

Demonstrators gathered in roughly 2,000 communities large and small, with few reports of unrest. Many protests on the East Coast have wound down, but demonstrations were just beginning in Los Angeles,

There were funnel cakes, stands of festival bling and American flags aplenty. Also, the spray of tear gas against nonviolent marchers in Atlanta, rolling waves of anti-Trump resistance coast to coast and a confrontation in Los Angles.

A U.S. appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid protests over stepped-up immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court ruling that blocked the mobilization.
