L.A. - Suspect's death raises question

Latino community leaders and other activists on  Thursday called for an independent investigation in the death of Jose Antonio  Rodriguez, who died after being arrested by Los Angeles Police Department officers  earlier this year. During a tense community meeting attended by 70 people at the LAPD Academy in  Elysian Park, community leaders urged police officials to address Rodriguez's  death the same way they have handled the recent televised beating of car theft  suspect Stanley Miller. "We need a thorough and fair investigation," said Arturo Ybarra, a member of  the Latino Community Forum, a group that meets regularly with police to discuss  Latino issues. Lenore Solis, another member of the Latino Community Forum, made the same  request. "All I've wanted ... is just to find out what happened," Solis said. "Tell  us what happened, because the rumors are rampant in the community." [more]
