CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Cleveland police call rally on Saturday a success after peaceful protest ends in only one arrest. Cleveland Police estimate 5,000 people attended the biggest of the ‘No Kings’ rallies in Northeast Ohio, when rally goers first filled public square and then marched over to the Free Stamp next to City Hall.

Attending a No Kings protest in Cincinnati this weekend? Here's what you're not allowed to do while demonstrating in Ohio.

The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

In Muskingum Park, residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley were coming together for a different reason. Lisa Bammerlin, a concerned citizen, said over 200 people came out to be in one of the hundreds of No Kings protests taking place across the United States.

Protesters held signs that read, “No kings since 1776,” “Bad Things Happen When Good People Do Nothing,” “Stop the Parade Fund Medicaid,” “When cruelty becomes normal compassion looks radical” and “Make Orwell Fiction Again.”
