LOS ANGELES, CA – The Los Angeles Police Commission ruled Tuesday that an L.A.P.D. officer was justified in fatally shooting a knife-wielding Guatemalan day laborer last year in an incident that sparked outrage and protests in the Latino community.
L.A. Police Commission President John W. Mack announced that his panel unanimously accepted an internal report by the L.A.P.D that said Officer Frank Hernandez used proper lethal force against Manuel Jamines, 37, who stepped towards him with a knife.
