LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police Chief Charlie Beck pleaded for calm and vowed his department would conduct an exhaustive investigation into a bicycle officer's fatal shooting of a drunken day laborer with a knife.
Guatemalan immigrant Manuel Jamines, 37, was shot twice by a police officer Sunday afternoon near MacArthur Park,
a poor neighborhood packed with recent immigrants from Central America..

I have believed for sometime that the next war will start in LA.
“Shouldn’t have left that cake out in the rain”
“Why? Because it took so long to bake it?”
Do you think you’ll ever get that recipe again?
Well, it’s obvious that the policeman was a racist because all policemen are racists and because they come from the ranks of ignorant rednecks who are all racists.
Had it been a white person, the policeman would probably have used reason instead of the deadly force that he thought was appropriate for a brown-skinned person.
There’s no getting around it. There has to be Social Justice or there will never be any justice at all.

The dearly deceased that these ‘immigrants’ are so upset about is an illegal alien Guatemalan, who was not an ‘innocent’.
Guatemala is trouble!
A Guatemala government report said that last year 27,222 of its citizens were deported from the United States and 28,800 from Mexico; Honduras estimates more than 500 of its people leave for the north every day.

Guatemalan Migrants called “heroes”
Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom, in Los Angeles, California, to inaugurate the sixth annual Guatemalan festival (Feria Chapina), called his country’s migrants “heroes” for having the courage to migrate to the US, an unknown country. Plans were revealed to construct a monument to migrants near La Aurora, Guatemala City’s international airport.

Temporary Protected Status urged for undocumented Guatemalans in US
An opinion column in La Hora concerns an appeal by a number of Guatemalan organizations requesting President Alvaro Colom to convey to the US government the necessity for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for undocumented Guatemalan migrants living in the US. The column points out, “the support of US personalities who have considered TPS to be a minimum measure of solidarity with Guatemala.”

[Excerpt from USCIS publication: The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country’s nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States.

Deported Guatemalans without work
A study by a Guatemalan human rights organization of those deported from the meat packing plant in Potsville, Iowa in May of 2008, 64% remain without work and 36% have only temporary employment. This is a reflection of the status of most Guatemalans deported back to their own country because of Guatemala’s lack of development opportunities, the study found. “They emigrate and are exploited for their labor. On returning they are victims of the incapability of the State to reestablish them.” The study also showed that 98% of those deported from Iowa were in debt [assumption: smuggling fees], but only 12% have already paid them.

Guatemalan youth migration a worry
A Guatemalan youth study indicates that 50% of Guatemalan youths have either tried to travel illegally to the US or have thought of trying. Those that try go into debt to pay between the equivalent of $5,000 to $7,000 to “coyotes” to smuggle them north, but often are abandoned in Mexico and left to their own luck. Those who make it back home are left with huge debts and no way to pay them off. Those experiences do not seem to dissuade others from trying.

Mexico detains 61 illegal immigrants from Guatemala and Ecuador
Chiapas, Mexico – A total of 61 undocumented immigrants from Guatemala and Ecuador were detained while being guided by smugglers in a wooded zone of the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, according to Mexican immigration officials (INM). The office received a call reporting the smuggling operation Friday night and dispatched agents to the area where they made the arrests. The two guides escaped, but the 61 aliens were taken into custody for processing. There were 53 Guatemalans and 8 Ecuadorians. More than 500,000 foreigners enter Mexico illegally each year en route to the US, according to the National Commission for Human Rights.

“The word ‘illegal’ is nowhere to be found in this article.
surprise. surprise.”
The media rarely states that fact. You have to go to the jail records to find out, where they always list the race as ‘white’.

OSP traffic stop south of Klamath Falls uncovers 104 pounds of pot

FROM OSP
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — A Yakima, Wash., man (RIGHT!!!) was arrested 11 miles south of Klamath Falls after an Oregon State Police trooper found about 104 lbs. of marijuana inside the vehicle.
At 2:15 p.m. Sunday, an OSP trooper was patrolling northbound on Highway 97 near milepost 284 following a 1996 Ford Explorer displaying Washington license plates when the trooper saw the vehicle travel about 3 feet over the center line into the southbound lane. The trooper stopped the vehicle and spoke to the driver Oscar Delacruz Cruz, 29.
The trooper’s investigation uncovered 104 pounds of marijuana inside three large bags in the rear cargo area, with an estimated value of more than $250,000.
Cruz was arrested and lodged at the Klamath County Jail for unlawful possession, distribution and manufacturing of marijuana.
This is the third OSP traffic stop during the last 90 days leading to arrests after troopers found 100 pounds or more of marijuana.

Juana Neri, 57, a Mexican immigrant housewife who lives nearby, pushed her grocery bag in a baby stroller past the corner where Jamines was killed.
"It's bad, what the police did, but what's worse is the silly stuff that people were doing here," she said, referring to Monday's violence. "We are not in our country, and with the problems that Hispanic immigrants have these days, it's better not to cause problems."
