Police say they killed thirty-seven-year-old Manuel Jamines after he refused to drop a knife and lunged at three officers. Jamines was a day laborer and the father of three children. On Tuesday, twenty-two people were arrested after protesters clashed with police officers near where the shooting occurred.
