The demands in support of Douglas Zerby and Ismael Lopez were made during a news conference outside the criminal courts building in downtown Los Angeles. The two men were slain in separate incidents in December 2010 and August.
The supporters, who included family members and activists, urged Cooley to follow the example of Orange County prosecutors who recently charged two Fullerton police officers in the fatal beating of Kelly Thomas.
"Cooley must step forward and take responsibility in bringing about justice," said Long Beach activist Doug Kauffman.
A spokeswoman for Cooley, Sandi Gibbons, said the district attorney's office has conducted an initial probe of the shootings but that prosecutors are waiting for police to complete their investigations.
