Snoop Dogg And The Game Lead Peaceful Gathering In Los Angeles

Two internationally known artists from the West Coast decided to come together on Friday (Jul. 8), to bring attention to police relations in black and Latino communities.

Snoop Dogg and The Game launched the H.U.N.T. march (Hate Us Not Today, Hunt Us Not Today), landing outside the Los Angeles Police Department’s main building.

In a brief talk with the Los Angeles Times, The Game shared that the mission of the march was to “reintroduce our community to the LAPD… just to get some understanding and dialogue. We’re the ones they’s going to be dealing with, we’re the ones that are going to be pulled over… We’re here on peace.”

TMZ also caught up with Snoop to gather his thoughts on the events that have transpired since Alton Sterling and Philando Castile’s deaths at the hands of the police.

“It’s just a lot of built up frustration, and that’s why there needs to be some sort of understanding so we can bring it to a halt because we all got to be here,” Snoop said. “You can’t answer hate with hate. You gotta answer hate with love.”
