The two rappers arrived at the LAPD headquaters where they had a private meeting with L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, Police Chief Charlie Beck and other top Police Officials while the graduation ceremony of new LAPD  recruits was going on.


Snoop Dogg said The point of the march was to reintroduce the Police Department to members of the community it serves:

    "Respect is key. Think about the person you're pulling over and their family because that way, you'll have more of a consideration of life and de-escalate as opposed to escalate."


While The Game told the new recruit during the graduation ceremony:

   
        "I would be lying to you if I didn't say I was saddened by what happened in Dallas. I would be lying to you if I didn't say I was angered about what occurred in Minnesota and Louisiana and Fresno. The cops that died in Dallas weren't the cops that shot and killed Philando or Alton. As much as Philando and Alton didn't deserve that, those cops in Dallas didn't deserve that. And the only thing I could think of was to initiate peace on both sides, so that's why I'm here."

USA: FACES OF THE POLICE OFFICERS KILLED IN DALLAS, TEXAS.


A newlywed and a Navy veteran of three tours Iraq were among the five Dallas police officers killed in a sniper ambush on Thursday night. The victims were identified on Friday by officials, relatives and the media as Dallas Police Department officers Senior Cpl. Lorne Ahrens, Officer Michael Krol, Sgt. Michael J. Smith, Officer Patrick Zamarripa, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) police officer Brent Thompson.



Seven other police officers and two civilians were wounded in the shooting at the end of a supposed peaceful protest over this week's killing of two black men by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota. The Dallas shooter was a U.S. Army reservist who served in Afghanistan.

Transit Police Officer Brent Thompson, 43, worked for Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system since 2009 and was the first officer killed in the line of duty since the transit system formed a Police Department in 1989.

Thompson spent more than four years in Iraq, working for private U.S military contractor DynCorp International as a police liaison officer who supervised Americans training and mentoring the Iraqi police force, according to his LinkedIn profile. Thompson got married to a fellow DART officer only two weeks ago.
Thompson was also a father and a grandfather from a previous marriage.


Navy veteran Patrick Zamarripa, 32, served three tours in Iraq. He serves in the military reserves as well as working as a Dallas Policeman.


His uncle, Hector Zamarripa, said by telephone that Zamarripa was a proud Mexican-American who leaves behind a wife, their toddler daughter and a stepson.


Although he did not speak much Spanish, he went by the name Patricio among his Spanish-speaking friends and relatives.


Michael Krol, a 40-year-old officer with the Dallas Police Department, was killed, according to a statement from the Wayne County Sheriff's Office in Michigan, where Krol worked as a deputy in the jails from 2003 to 2007.
   "We are saddened by the loss of the dedicated officers in Dallas - one of whom was a former member of this agency - and also the wounding of the other officers,"Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon said in the statement.


Senior Corporal Lorne Ahrens, a 14-year veteran with the Dallas Police, was one of those killed, the Dallas Morning News reported.
Ahrens, a 48-year-old California native, was married to a Dallas police detective and had two children, ages 10 and 8, the newspaper reported.


Michael Smith, 55, also died in the attack. He served in the military as an Army Ranger before joining the Dallas Police in 1989. His family said he left behind a wife of 17 years and two daughters, ages 9 and 14.

MAY ALL THE LIVES LOST IN THIS CHAOS REST IN PEACE!!!

The two men who have no no children nor grandchildren say they are each other's best friends as they celebrated with a glass of wine on Friday.
