At the Los Angeles Police Department new cadets’ graduation ceremony today, rappers Snoop Dogg and The Game led a peaceful protest as a response to the recent killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.
In the Instagram video above, Snoop Dogg says, “This is how you make moves, man. This is how you get the understanding. Get some dialogue with the new recruits before they hit the streets.”
Here is how Twitter users responded to the protest:
