Arrests were almost exclusively for charges of failure to obey a lawful order, Denver police said, but some included interference with police authority, unlawful throwing of projectiles, and obstruction of streets.

No Kings” organizers described the events as a “nationwide day of defiance” against President Donald Trump and authoritarianism.

Demonstrators protesting the Trump administration clashed with Denver police as thousands marched downtown, with some participants throwing projectiles at officers.
