At times, the scene turned violent in the streets outside the San Jose Convention Center after the June 2 Donald Trump rally, as hundreds of protesters confronted rally attendees as they left.  Hundreds of police officers clad in riot gear responded, but countless fights still broke out and few were arrested.  A month later, several rally attendees filed a class action lawsuit against the city of San Jose, its mayor and its police chief for failing to prevent the violence. Photo by Stephen de Ropp.
