Several thousand Angelenos gathered Saturday to express their frustration with the outcome of the election and the sentiments and policies expressed by President-elect Donald J. Trump. The crowd gathered in MacArthur Park and walked through the streets of Los Angeles to gather in front of the Federal Building downtown. The mood was spirited and peaceful.
