The mother of Alfred Olango, an unarmed man who was fatally shot by police in El Cajon, spoke out Thursday, saying her son was not mentally ill but grieving for a dead friend.
Protests of the fatal police shooting of a Ugandan emigre at an El Cajon strip mall turned violent Thursday night, prompting the arrests of two men and the use of pepper balls by officers to disperse the crowd of about 50 to 75.
The third night of demonstrations over the death of 38-year-old Alfred Olango, which protesters maintain was unwarranted and racially motivated, started heating up around 8 p.m. in the area of North Mollison Avenue and Broadway where police said the crowd occupied the intersection.
The protesters stopped vehicles, broke car windows and knocked a motorcyclist off his motorcycle, according to Lt. Rob Ransweiler of the El Cajon Police Department.

moral of the story, if you or a loved one are in mental distress, do not called the cops.
if the cops had not showed up, the man would have been alive. what a sentence.
but i wonder if i point my laptop a water bottle or a paper airplane or a tree branch at a cop and hold it like a gun, if he/she will say its enough to kill me... i think so.
but those mentalistprotestersrioters should just save their energy.
stay tuned to next week, when another LEO feels threatened.

Can't see why people are protesting and rioting for this one, the picture couldn't be much clearer.

Sounds like the moral of the story is - never take aim at the police with anything unless you want to be shot.
