Hi,
 How it started:
 The Night of Long Knives, also known as the Röhm Putsch,
was the purge of the SA leadership and other political
opponents from 30 June 1934 to 2 July 1934. Carried out
primarily by the SS and the Gestapo, over 150 people were
murdered and hundreds more were arrested.

The SA was a 'proletarian' army of thugs.
Once the Nazi were in power, the working class was of no use anymore and the SA actually a threat to the power of the Nazi-party.
It is actually interesting, that the SA had Remmington pistols made in USA and second hand uniforms, which were used in the 2nd Boer war before by the British.
They had to go and leave the power to the Nazi party and not to lower class thugs.
