Saturday, September 18, 10am - March & Rally to Demand Justice for Manuel Jamines! Stop Police Killings! Justice for Immigrant Workers!
Gather 6th & Union Ave., Los Angeles March to City Hall (1st and Spring St.)
Join community organizations and individuals for a mass March and Rally on Saturday, Sept. 18 to demand justice for Manuel Jamines. The LAPD murder of Manuel Jamines has sparked outrage in the Guatemalan immigrant community. Hundreds of people have protested the cold-blooded murder every day since it happened.
The LAPD has unleashed violent, unprovoked repression on the community?beating and arresting people, handing over undocumented workers to ICE, and firing rubber bullets into crowds, leaving many bloodied and injured. They are continuing to attack the community on a daily basis.
Mayor Villaraigosa and the LAPD leadership have defended the killing of Jamines. They have promised a ?fair investigation,? while at the same time calling the police officer who pulled the trigger ?heroic? and ?brave.?
But the facts speak otherwise. LAPD officer Frank Hernandez, who killed Jamines, has been put on forced leave twice before for shooting people. Witnesses to the Jamines killing have come forth saying he had no knife in his hand when he was shot twice in the head.
Police violence against immigrants and poor people will keep happening unless we get organized and fight back. Come to march from the place where Jamines was killed to City Hall. Justice for Manual Jamines!
We demand: Arrest LAPD officer Frank Hernandez for murder! - An independent investigation into the killing! - Community control over the police! - No more raids, racial profiling or police violence targeting oppressed communities!
