'No Kings' protest takes place in downtown Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. - Thousands of people are estimated to have attended "No Kings" protests in Orlando and Central Florida on Saturday, while millions were estimated to have attended protests across the United States, according to local and national organizers.
Some 200,000 people were expected to attend the U.S. Army's 250th birthday celebration and military parade in Washington D.C., according to the U.S. Secret Service, which coincided with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday and Flag Day. Official numbers have not yet been released, so it's not known how many people are estimated to have attended the parade.
Videos and photos showed crowds of people gathered in downtown Orlando, Casselberry, and Cocoa – a few of 2,000 expected protests nationwide – holding signs, waiving flags, and chanting various messages. In Washington D.C., tanks rolled down streets as troops of U.S. Army service men and women passed by President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and other members of the Trump Administration. Crowds gathered in Washington D.C. to watch the parade.
