Manuel Jamines aka Manuel Ramirez

Deadly force

Jamines was an indigenous man from Guatemala, who didn't speak English or even Spanish very well. He was standing on the corner of 6th Street and Union in the community of Pico Union or Westlake. The police claim he had a knife and was intending to use it on a pregnant woman. Many eye witnesses say that this was not true, and that Manuel was murdered in cold blood.
