June 2 marks the seventh day of protests against police brutality in L.A., sparked by anger over the killing of George Floyd at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer — and over the historic police mistreatment of people of color, here and across the country.

On Monday, about 1,000 protesters marched in Westwood, Hollywood and West Hollywood, downtown, Van Nuys, Anaheim, West Covina and Long Beach. You can read full details about that here.

The protests were largely peaceful across L.A. County today, aside from some reports of police shooting rubber bullets at protestors in Hollywood.

HANCOCK PARK

Several hundred protestors rallied in front of the Mayor Garcetti's official residence in Hancock Park this afternoon.

LAist reporters Libby Denkmann and Mike Roe were on the ground. They said the protestors were peacefully demanding #CareNotCops and a #PeoplesBudget.

"Organizers with @BLMLA kept this action under wraps all day. They held a training nearby to emphasize peaceful methods of resistance," Denkmann said on Twitter.

DOWNTOWN

The march was originally organized by The Baptist Ministers Conference for clergy, to "support the family of George Floyd and uplift his life." It started at 10 a.m.

"This is a symbol of unity. We will raise the value of black life. Please come or pray," organizers wrote in a Facebook post.

Rev. K.W. Tulloss, president of the Baptist Minister's Conference of Southern CA, spoke to KPCC this afternoon. He said 300-400 clergy participated in the march, which was supposed to end at LAPD Headquarters. Hundreds more joined, however. The reverend estimated there are about 1,000 participants. Here's what he had to say about his reasons for joining the movement:
