LOS ANGELES (AP) — Protestors are gathering in Los Angeles near the spot where an LA Police officer shot a Guatemalan immigrant who was carrying a knife.
Less than a hundred people assembled Saturday in the Rampart area west of downtown. Many carried flags from Central American countries and placards decrying the Sept. 5 shooting death of Manuel Jaminez.
Organizers had hoped for up to three thousand people to come and protest what they say was a disproportionate use of force.
The protesters will march past the Rampart police station before winding their way to MacArthur Park.
