The rappers and other marchers ultimately met with police commanders and held a press conference.

In the press conference, both the Game and Snoop made it clear their intention wasn't to "bash" police, but rather start a conversation. The march came after five police officers were killed and seven more were wounded at a protest in Dallas.

"I didn't leave my house this morning with malice in my heart, with hate in my heart or with anger toward anyone police officer or not," the Game said. "I think that we need to take responsibility as a human race and accept the role as peacegivers and people that distribute love and change throughout this city.... I love you no matter what race you're from no matter where you come from no matter what gang you're from or what police force you stand for what badge you put on what school you teach whoever you are in the world if you are a human being and you have ears and eyes to see this is a day of change respect it understand it love it."

Snoop, meanwhile, made their mission clear: "Not to bash the police, but to come up here and get some dialogue and some communication."

"Today was the first step to many steps," he said. "We are here to show love and support to the police force in Los Angeles and to get some understanding and some communication."
