The protest happened outside the iconic Randy's Donuts building in the city of Inglewood. CBS 2 News reported on air that the crowd at one point appeared to include about 700 people or more, though by the time the protesters formed the peace symbol it had shrunk to a few hundred people.

The protest happened amid ongoing demonstrations in cities across the U.S. over the deaths of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota last week, and just days after a sniper killed five police officers at a protest in Dallas.
