300 Protesters Throw Rocks, Eggs at LAPD Station (this sanctuary city is getting exactly what it deserves...ole) LOS ANGELES – Protesters on Tuesday night pelted a police station with eggs, rocks and bottles despite Police Chief Charlie Beck's plea for calm earlier in the day and his promise to thoroughly investigate an officer's fatal shooting of a (illegal alien) Guatemalan immigrant wielding a knife. Police reported 22 arrests late Tuesday, mainly for failure to disperse and unlawful assembly, Officer Karen Rayner said. Officers fired at least two volleys of nonlethal foam projectiles at demonstrators, she said. No injuries to officers or civilians were reported. At a late-afternoon news conference, Beck said only 40 seconds went by between the time officers made contact with Manuel Jamines (el estupido) on Sunday and the moment an officer shot him twice. The shooting prompted demonstrations Monday near MacArthur Park, a densely packed neighborhood west of downtown populated with recent immigrants from Central America. Four people were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor inciting a riot, and others threw rocks and bottles at police, slightly injuring three officers(if he had lived, how many yrs would a US citizen get for hittin a cop with rocks/bottles?), Officer Bruce Borihanh said. The protest gained steam again Tuesday night, when about 300 people took their complaints to the Rampart police station near downtown Los Angeles, about two blocks from where Jamines died, said Lt. Andrew Neiman. A citywide tactical alert was called to free up more officers to respond to the area, Rayner said. Beck said the incident involving Jamines started when someone flagged down three bicycle officers to tell them a man was threatening people with a knife. The officers approached the suspect and told him in Spanish and English to put down the knife. Instead, Jamines (aka estupido) raised the knife above his head and lunged at Officer Frank Hernandez, a 13-year veteran of the department, Beck said. Eyewitness accounts from six civilians, nine police personnel and two fire department staff indicate Hernandez fired twice "in immediate defense of life," Beck said. Jamines (aka estupido), 37, died at the scene. Investigators recovered a bloody, 6-inch knife at the scene but didn't know where the blood came from. "This was a very brief moment in time, just 40 seconds between first contact and the time of the shooting," Beck said. "He (estupido) rushed the officers with a knife so he's controlling the timeframe. Sometimes officers can't create time or distance." Beck said the timeline was based on preliminary interviews, and the department's Force Investigation Division will conduct an exhaustive probe. The three officers involved in the shooting have been temporarily reassigned during the investigation. Jamines' (aka estupido) neighbors described him as being drunk but not dangerous. "Killing a drunk isn't right(never mind that el estupido lunged with a 6" knife)," said Jamines' cousin Juan Jaminez, 38, a day laborer. He and others said Jamines was a friendly, hardworking man who liked to drink on the weekends but wasn't violent. LOL!! Jamines (el estupido) had a wife (seniorita elestupido) and three children — ages 13, 6 and 8 — in his hometown of Mazatenango, Guatemala, his cousin said. He came to the United States six years ago (ILLEGALLY) to find work as a day laborer (drinking, and attempting to knife cops reserved for nights) and spent most of his time looking for jobs in the parking lot of the Home Depot a block away. "The officer who did this should be subject to discipline and a thorough investigation," (notice the damand is for disipline BEFORE an investigation), said Juan Flores, 39, a cook at a downtown restaurant who knew Jamines. "We want to know, is he on vacation or is he fired?" (and I want to know, JUAN, are you here legally, if not, I got your name address, age, and the number for ICE) Flores said the officers should have used a non-lethal weapon to subdue Jamines. (I would have empty my rod into any person lunging with a knife, and reloaded) Beck said the officer who shot Jamines had no baton or stun gun with him. He said bicycle officers frequently do not carry the selection of non-lethal weapons found in patrol cars. (maybeeee, the officer should have tucked tail and went searching for one, he had a whole 40 seconds to think about it) On Tuesday evening, dozens of people lit prayer candles at the site where Jamines was killed. (Molotov cocktails, and car bombs won't be too far behind) Demonstrators had hung posters with Spanish slogans that said: "The people demand accountability,"(lol, "accountability?) and most of these illegal squatters voted for obama?) "No more murders," (if i rob the local liquor store, jus tell mi madre, and she will punish me) "The police murdered a day laborer and we demand justice." (the police also killed a white man, armed with an AK-47, in his own yard, and he worked for a living too..fool) Juana Neri, 57, a Mexican immigrant housewife who lives nearby, pushed her grocery bag in a baby stroller past the corner where Jamines was killed. (I suppose children are in no danger from crazed, knife welding drunks...stupid beatch) "It's bad, what the police did, but what's worse is the silly stuff that people were doing here," she said, referring to Monday's violence. "We are not in our country, and with the problems that Hispanic immigrants have these days, it's better not to cause problems." (GET THE FK OUT OF MY COUNTRY) Lt. Andrew Neiman said Monday's peaceful candlelight vigil escalated to violence because a group handing out fliers for the Revolutionary Communist Party rallied the crowd with a bullhorn until the police declared an unlawful assembly. (HOLY SHIT~ BRING IT ON) "They were antagonistic, vocal and derogatory to the police," Neiman said. "They tie themselves to immigrants' rights protests, and people who live there say they're not from the community." A telephone listing for the Revolutionary Communist Party could not be found. Beck said the brawling was caused by several factors. "First, we understand this is an emotional issue and we need to get the facts out. Second, there's the outside agitators. And finally, it was the third day of a three-day weekend and some people in the crowd had been drinking," he said. (i have never seen so many excuses made for these violent, ignorant, illegal tresspassers) The police union issued a statement Tuesday calling the shooting a "tragic incident" and saying community activists were trying to stir up controversy. "Getting drunk and threatening bystanders and then LAPD officers with a knife is dangerous and self-destructive in any language," the Los Angeles Police Protective League's statement said. "This was not and should not be a controversial shooting." MacArthur Park was the site of a May 1, 2007, clash in which police officers pummeled immigration rights marchers and reporters with batons and shot rubber bullets into the crowd. Dozens of protesters and journalists were injured. Police said it began with a group of "agitators" outside the park throwing objects at officers. (rubber ammo, and the taxpayers were forced to shell out millions for their bruises) The embarrassing incident cost the city more than $13 million in lawsuit settlements. (these are not 'embarrassing incidents', they are fking ACTS OF WAR) Police were retrained on crowd control, forming skirmish lines, using batons in a crowd and using extraction teams to identify and arrest violent demonstrators.
