The Pamplona bull festival called The Running Of The Bulls is a nine-day fiesta which is a traditional part of Spanish summer festivities.
Runners dash along with six bulls down a narrow 930-yard (850-meter) course from a holding pen to Pamplona's bull ring.
Some of the bulls are fitted with fireworks to add excitement to the event. Inevitably, spectators suffer injuries and 15 people have died since 1924 when record-keeping began.

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."
