LAPD Protest at Chief Beck Office Tuesday, October 12, 4:30 PM LAPD Headquarters 100 West First Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 SCIC Demands Justice for Manuel Jaminez Xum The Southern California Immigration Coalition (SCIC) will hold a Press Conference in front of the LAPD Headquarters to demand (1) a public community meeting with LAPD Chief Beck and (2) an update on the investigation of the killing of Manuel Jaminez Xum by LAPD Officer Frank Hernandez on September 5, 2010. This is the next step in our continued campaign to seek justice for the Jaminez family. To ensure that the Chief of Police receives the letter, a delegation of SCIC members will enter the LAPD offices to demand a meeting with Chief Beck and the community. The SCIC has sent a letter to Chief Beck regarding our requests. At the September 8, 2010 community meeting, Chief Beck said he would have the LAPD conduct a speedy and transparent investigation with regular reports to the community. No such public community event has taken place. The SCIC has also strategically chosen October 12th as the date for this event to commemorate Indigenous Peoples Day. Manuel Jaminez Xum was a Mayan man who was forced to flee his homeland due to extreme poverty and repression caused by US intervention in Guatemala. We do not celebrate Columbus Day; instead we recognize it as the beginning of the conquest, colonization and genocide of the indigenous nations of the Americas, which led to death of millions of native people. Manuel Jamines Xum is just one more victim in a long history of murders against Native people.
