A man yells as he listens to Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck during a community meeting Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES — An angry crowd greeted Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck with boos, whistles and chants of "Justicia!" Wednesday night at a community meeting intended to calm residents after police fatally shot a man they said brandished a knife.
A crowd of more than 300 packed a school in the Westlake neighborhood where an officer shot Manuel Jamines, 37, to death Sunday after he allegedly lunged toward the officer with a switchblade.
The crowd jeered Beck when he defended officers by reading a witness's account of how Jamines threatened her.
Beck said the witness, a neighborhood resident who was not named, told three bicycle officers that a man with blood on his hands tried to stab her and a pregnant woman next to her.
As the woman ran away, she heard the three officers telling the suspect to drop the knife, then she heard three or four shots, turned around and saw Jamines on the sidewalk, Beck said.
"She referred to the officers as her angels who had descended from heaven to save her life and that of the pregnant lady," Beck said.
The crowd exploded when they heard the witness's account. One man in the audience called out that the story sounded like it was made up in Hollywood.
