Crazy Man Shot By LAPD
Manuel Jaminez a 37 year old construction worker from Guatemala was brandishing a knife and threatening people. He then threatened police.
Apparently he wouldn't put the knife down so the police shot him. I don't see the problem. At a town hall meeting one person asked why they couldn't disarm him? Another asked why the officer hasn't been suspended? An officer responded that the LAPD doesn't teach officers to take knives from people.
I think the LAPD was in the right, I haven't said that too many times. Officers already risk their lives, why should they try and take a knife from a threatening individual? People have unrealistic expectations. And no the officer shouldn't be suspended.
