The group, which calls itself the National Socialist Movement, requested and received a city parade permit for a white power demonstration at City Hall.
"It's just one group of racists protesting another group of racists," said one police officer.
Some of the counter protestors waved signs reading "Nazi scum."
Los Angeles is among the most diverse cities in the United States, with 44 percent of the population of Hispanic origin or descent. Most Americans nationwide are still of European descent but California has no majority ethnic group.
