Protests and demonstrations continued in Southern California and across the nation this weekend following the police shootings of black men and a sniper attack that killed five police officers in Dallas.
About 60 protesters gathered in Moreno Valley Saturday morning to march against police brutality in the wake of last week's killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile in Louisiana and Minnesota, respectively.
Protesters peacefully marched down sidewalks near Sunnymead Park carrying signs with "Black Lives Matter'' and "Stop Killing'' written on them.
Around 40 protesters gathered at the corner of Limonite and Hamner avenues in Eastvale Saturday afternoon, where they peacefully chanted and held signs. The group had moved into the intersection, which prompted a heavy presence from sheriff's deputies, and caused traffic in surrounding streets, according to the Press-Enterprise.
Rapper Snoop Dogg tweeted about the event Saturday morning, although it is unknown if he attended.
A rally under the banner "Black & Brown Lives Matter" was held at the LAPD Headquarters in downtown LA. Protesters gathered to denounce fatal shootings by police officers nationwide.
Several more protests were slated for Sunday. Crowds were expected to gather at noon at Riverside City Hall at 3900 Main Street.
