Police officers in major cities suffered injuries at the hands of violent agitators over the weekend, with several rioters throwing fireworks and other objects at the officers.

In response to President Donald Trump and his administration's ramping up deportation efforts of illegal migrants, protesters throughout the country assembled for the "No Kings" demonstrations on Saturday.

The demonstrations coincided with the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade, which happened to fall on the president's birthday.

"No Kings" did not immediately respond to The Christian Post's request for comment.

While the organizer's website emphasizes a commitment to nonviolent action, several demonstrators at rallies in a couple of major cities engaged in criminal activity, such as assaulting police officers and theft. 

The following pages highlight attacks on officers that occurred during the "No Kings" protests over the weekend.
