To the editor:
When I read the Aug. 27 Chronicle article, "L.A. police criticized
after mix-up in raid, shooting death of Latino," it sounded just like
Houston to me. We had the shooting of Pedro Navarro Oregon, the
shooting of a mental patient armed with a stick in a paper sack and
the shooting of an unarmed man at a bus stop -- sounds like Los
Angeles. In Los Angeles it was said, "The phenomenon of unjustifiable
police homicides is something that is recurring at an alarming level."
Sounds like Houston. The FBI needs to continue to investigate the
shootings in Houston, just as in Los Angeles.
