Hispanic Man: Officers and Shot Times

hispanic man: The officers "behaved like big game hunters closing in on an animal," said John Burris, a lawyer for the family of Joseph Mann, who was mentally unstable and homeless, according to CTV. The demand for the murder charges came as Los Angeles police chief Charlie Beck defended his officers in the fatal shootings of a black man Saturday who police say was armed with a loaded semi-automatic gun and a Hispanic man on Sunday who officers say was wielding replica handgun. He dodged the cruiser twice and was shot 14 times less than a minute later by the same two officers. The latest police shootings happened amid heightened tensions over police actions involving black people and other minorities across the country, and followed two more fatal encounters between California police and black men last week in San Diego and Pasadena. But Burris told reporters he was not threatening anybody and that the two officers who shot him, John Tennis and Randy Lozoya, should face a U.S. Justice Department civil rights investigation in addition to murder charges. In the Sacramento case, police have said Mann was waving a knife in the air and doing karate moves in the streets just before police responded. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
