In Arizona, several protests are planned for Friday, with the largest occurring in Phoenix, Flagstaff and Tucson.

After the protesters had largely dispersed in downtown Phoenix, one person broke a window at the state Department of Agriculture building on Adams Street, while others booed the person for doing so.
