Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey warned that "peaceful protests are part of our democracy, but the key word in that is 'peaceful.'"

The anti-Trump group “No Kings“ planned the protests to coincide with Saturday’s military parade in Washington, D.C. The group, on its website, states that “No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance” to “reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like.”

As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.

Protests are taking place in Florida and nationwide on June 14, the same day as the military parade in Washington DC.
