Police Beat: [Expletive Deleted]

So, were we to ask an LAPD officer to give us, say, $500.00 in cash, & we were holding a knife, would we get the money, or the air let out of us w/ a bullet?

Manuel Jamines Asked to Die, Reports Police Commission

crimescenetape-110.jpgIn a report following the 2010 shooting of Westlake resident Manuel Jamines by LAPD Officer Frank Hernandez , the LA Police Commission stated that Jamines asked to die.
Jamines was reportedly drunk and carrying a knife when Hernandez shot and killed him, after having been called by a concerned resident.
Hernandez told investigators that as he encountered Jamines he "moved onto the sidewalk, getting to within 10 feet of [Jamines], and yelled, "Drop the knife, drop the knife right now or I'm going to shoot you." According to [Hernandez], [Jamines] stopped, turned toward [Hernandez] and stated in Spanish, "Kill me, [expletive]. Kill me. I want to die, [expletive]. Kill me. Kill me."
The shooting caused riots and uproar in the neighborhood in the following days. Yesterday, the LA Police Commission found that Hernandez was justified in shooting Jamines.
Totally stolen.
