Connecticut law enforcement agencies were bracing for possible protests at the State Capitol in Hartford this weekend, but have now scaled back their presence after protests failed to materialize.
The FBI warned all 50 states to prepare for the potential that those armed protests could turn violent.
Extra officers and resources were brought in to help protect the State Capitol and to ensure everyone was safe throughout the day.
