In the early afternoon, a caravan of vehicles that joined the Hispanic and black communities drove through Compton on the way to downtown L.A. and the headquarters of the Los Angeles Police Department.
In another part of Compton, a handful of demonstrators dubbed the Compton Cowboys rode horses to show their support.

In Beverly Hills, what that city's police department described as a peaceful bicycle protest moved through the city, headed westbound on Santa Monica Boulevard.
About 100 people gathered at City Hall downtown, while in East Los Angeles, demonstrators gathered peacefully at Mariachi Plaza.
Hollywood -- the site of a large gathering Saturday and many other days during the ongoing protests -- had another one scheduled for later Sunday at 4 p.m.
Other events were scheduled in Venice, Carson, Pasadena, Long Beach, Glendale, and the Pacific Palisades.
Meanwhile, a report in the Los Angeles Times said the bulk of NationalGuard troops deployed more than one week ago would be leaving the streets of Los Angeles as early as Sunday evening, with a small number left behind to guard key assets.
