After 17 shots, where's the outrage?

By Raul Reyes
(March 22, 2015)

The recent killing of a Latino man in Pasco, Wash., is one of the most
important national stories you have not heard about.
Last month, Antonio Zambrano-Montes, was killed after police fired on him 17
times for throwing rocks at passing cars. Zambrano, 35, who reportedly had
exhibited erratic behavior in the past, was unarmed. The incident was
captured on video and has been viewed on YouTube over two million times.

On Wednesday, the lawyer for Zambrano's widow demanded that the three
police officers involved in the shooting be charged immediately with murder.
Local Hispanic leaders also are calling for an investigation into the killing by
the Justice Department.
Unlike the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Zambrano's killing has
not led to widespread outrage and intense media coverage. Yet Zambrano's
case should be investigated just as thoroughly. Excessive use of force by the
police is not just an issue affecting the African-American community - it affects
Hispanics, too.
Like Ferguson, the power structure in Pasco is racially imbalanced. Pasco is 56
percent Latino, yet the police are less than one-quarter Hispanic. The school
system is 70 percent Latino, but the school board has no Latino members.
There is one Latino on the city council. Given these realities, it is easy to
understand the tension and frustration that has roiled Pasco's Latino
community since Zambrano's death. The New York Times even referred to the
incident as a "Ferguson moment for Hispanics."
Sadly, there have been similar killings of unarmed Latinos at the hands of law
enforcement throughout the U.S. Ruben Garcia Villalpando was unarmed
when he was killed by police in Grapevine, Texas, on Feb. 20. Javier Canepa
Diaz was unarmed when he was shot and killed by police in Santa Ana, Calif.,
on Feb. 27.Andy Lopez, 13, was carrying a BB gun when he was killed by a
sheriff's deputy in Santa Rosa, Calif., in 2013. These killings are far from
isolated incidents, and it is troubling that none of them have resulted in a
national conversation about the use of excessive force by police against
Latinos.
The killing of a Latino man by the police will not generate media coverage
until a community is outraged. Yet the Hispanic community cannot be
outraged by a killing of a Latino by the police until the media has covered the
story. This conundrum means that the deaths of too many Latinos are largely
ignored, or reported mostly by local or Spanish-language media.
Latino activists in Pasco are right to demand more attention to the killing of
Zambrano. Pasco police have killed three other people in recent months, and
the police have been exonerated each time. As in Ferguson, full accountability
from Pasco police may not be possible absent a federal investigation. And the
fact that 68 percent of Latinos fear the use of excessive force by police should

concern all Americans. When a significant sector of our population loses

confidence in law enforcement, it holds the potential to undermine our entire
system of justice.
True, the facts of the Pasco killing are complicated. Zambrano had a history of
mental illness and alleged domestic abuse, and he was an undocumented
immigrant from Mexico. But police should be trained to deal with mentally
unstable people, and to act appropriately in dangerous situations. Consider
that our justice system gives full trials and appeals to serial killers, child
molesters and terrorists. Whether or not he had papers, Zambrano did not
deserve to be gunned down on the street. As an editorial in Oregon's Daily
Astorian paper noted, Zambrano's actions "did not merit a spontaneous
imposition of the death penalty by police."
The Pasco killing is worthy of further scrutiny by the press and the Justice
Department. Being undocumented or Hispanic should not put a person at
heightened risk for death at the hands of the police. All lives matter - including
Latino lives.
