Thousands of people gathered at the Texas Capitol in Austin for one of the thousands of "No Kings" protests that took place across the country on Saturday.

"With the exception of a small number of agitators, the event remained largely peaceful," the Austin Police Department said.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, another elected representative speaking while under apparent threat of assassination, gave a roundup of recent disturbing news headlines. He pointed to the shooting in Minnesota, and the incident Thursday when California Sen. Alex Padilla was aggressively arrested on camera. The crowd booed.

Demonstrations in McAllen, Midland, Odessa, Austin and elsewhere in Texas were largely peaceful, as some protests went well into the night.

Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.
