There were thousands of No Kings rallies all over the country on Saturday. All of them were peaceful, with no riots or clashes between protesters and police. However, there was one unfortunate incident in Salt Lake City.
Most protest rallies had a volunteer peacekeeping team whose job was to try to deescalate the situation if things got out of hand. Some of the peacekeepers come with weapons but most don't. In Salt Lake City, 10,000 people peacefully marched to protest Donald Trump's actions on immigration. One of the peacekeepers saw a man with an AR-15-style rifle, Arthuro Gamboa, and fired three shots at him. One of them hit Gamboa and caused a minor injury. Another hit an innocent bystander, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo and killed him. Protesters quickly scattered and there was no further violence.
Gamboa was quickly taken into custody, but the peacekeeper, who fully cooperated with the police, was not. He may have saved many lives. (V)
