Thread: MAN FATALLY SHOT BY POLICE IN EL CAJON ID'D AS UGANDAN REFUGEE

TV 9-51 San Diego just had a breaking news report that the demonstration has just turned violent at one of the intersections. People in the street are stopping cars and caused a motorcycle to crash. Police helicopter overhead but no police cars at the scene. Some car windows broken.
More to follow.

You report stuff from the lying news media without comment as if it were proven facts. I have seen nothing to indicate the guy started a physical fight with anyone. Yet that is what you posted without any proof of its accuracy. Especially when the "news" meidia is proven to lye and lye about Tump and his people. It is irresponsible of you to post information that is contrary to everything I have seen on this story without comment or anything to establish its accuracy.

Photographer assaulted, robbed at site of El Cajon protest

A freelance photographer covering the protests in El Cajon was beaten and robbed of his camera early Thursday morning after he began to film a fight between two men at the site of this week’s fatal police shooting.

Photographer Greg Torkelson said he was in the parking lot of Los Panchos taco shop where 38-year-old Alfred Olango was shot by an El Cajon police officer Tuesday afternoon. The site had been a gathering spot for the demonstrations since the contentious fatal encounter.

He said he was sitting in his truck editing some video about 12:45 a.m. when he saw two men punching each other in front of a handful of onlookers and he got out to shoot the ruckus.

He was standing about 50 to 60 feet away when one of the men who was fighting noticed him and approached.

“The first guy came over and started pushing me. He hit my camera, I was using it as a shield,” said Torkelson who is seen on cell phone video extending one arm in front of him as he quickly backed up.

The man then forcefully took the camera out of his hands and handed it to a second man who can later be seen walking away with it.

Torkelson said his cell phone was also knocked out of his hand and that one of the men tried to kick him as he fled.

The photographer said he had pepper spray but did not use it because he would have had to stop running. He ran to a car where a person offered him a cell phone with which he called 911.

The incident was recorded on cell phone video by someone else standing nearby.

Torkelson, who provides video to several local news media organizations including the San Diego Union-Tribune, said he lost about $15,000 worth of equipment.

El Cajon police said officers will investigate.

KNSD-TV reports that some of the protesters got into arguments and shoving matches Thursday night with motorists angry about blocked intersections in El Cajon.

That brought police and sheriff’s deputies in riot gear closer to the protesters, some of whom threw water bottles and beer cans at them...

El Cajon Protests Grow Violent as Protesters Smash Windows Following Confrontation

This is the third day of protests

Two days after an unarmed man was shot and killed by El Cajon police, protests that sparked in this small city east of San Diego continued into the night, with tensions growing as the crowds grew violent.

As protesters blocked a local intersection, drivers outraged by the inconvenience first tried to drive through, then got frustrated and got out of their cars, yelling at protesters.

"You can go around," a protester with a microphone yelled at the driver. The driver, frustrated, could be seen trying to grab the microphone out of one protester's hands.

The confrontation became heated quickly, and after a confrontation, some protesters smashed windows, according to an NBC 7 reporter on scene.

El Cajon Police warned residents to avoid Broadway and Mollison because of pedestrians in the roadway.

Some officers at the scene were wearing gas masks.

The Thursday evening protests were a shift from activity during the day, when a few small groups of people were congregating near the parking lot where Alfred Olango was fatally shot by an El Cajon police officer.

After the shooting, people began gathering there, and on Wednesday afternoon and evening, large crowds marched through the El Cajon streets in demonstration.

While most of the protests have been peaceful, several protesters on Wednesday night threw water bottles at a car, and a news photographer had his camera forcibly taken from him, police said.

Thursday afternoon, the site of a shooting had become a memorial filled with handwritten signs memorializing Olango and calling for justice.

In a statement, El Cajon police said they continue to support the community’s right to voice their opinions in a peaceful manner.

That’s the goal of a group of religious leaders who met on Thursday. They called on the community to join to create one peaceful voice.

“If we go and loot, if we go and tear neighborhoods, we’re in the same position they are,” said Pastor Russell Bowman of Righteous Living Ministries. “So we’re trying to gather around those emotions and calm the storm before it actually breaks out.”

Several protests are planned. A demonstration led by local religious leaders will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday in downtown El Cajon at the Prescott Promenade.

A second rally on Saturday is planned for 3 p.m. at the San Diego Convention Center.

Next month, a third event, called a “March for Reparations,” is scheduled for Oct. 15 at 11 a.m. at San Diego City College.

Any excuse to cause trouble. They are not "protestors" they are an anarchist mob. IMO

Third night of police shooting protests turns violent in El Cajon

Protests of the police shooting in El Cajon turned violent Thursday night, with police using pepper balls and flashbang grenades to disperse a crowd that threw glass bottles and smashed vehicle windows.

At least two men were arrested during the third consecutive night of protests following the death of 38-year-old Alfred Olango.

The unarmed black man was shot by police when he grasped a vape smoking device with both hands and pointed it at an officer.

On Thursday night about 50 to 75 people — a smaller crowd than previous nights — took over the intersection of Broadway and Mollison Avenue.

The violence began about 8 p.m. when the crowd stopped passing vehicles and broke several of their windows, police said.

At one point, a man laid down his motorcycle in the intersection when he lost control of it, and a scuffle broke out between the rider and the protesters.

Police said they received several 911 calls about the altercation.

Sheriff’s deputies and officers from several police departments formed a line, facing off with the crowd in their riot gear.

Shortly after, a sheriff’s helicopter declared the protest an unlawful assembly and instructed protesters to disperse or risk arrest.

Police said some demonstrators threw glass bottles, and officers responded by firing pepper balls at the crowd.

Two men from El Cajon, ages 19 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of engaging in an unlawful assembly. Their names were not released.

Officers and deputies eventually left the intersection, leaving most of the protesters behind.

Several vehicles performed “donuts” in the intersection, and police later pulled over a driver in a nearby parking lot on Broadway. Many of the protesters rushed over, spurring yet another confrontation between police and the crowd.

Platoons of officers and deputies faced off with the crowd, firing pepper rounds and throwing flashbang grenades as a sheriff’s helicopter once again declared an unlawful assembly and ordered the crowd to disperse.

Most of the protesters left by midnight.

The unrest began Tuesday afternoon shortly after Olango was killed in the police confrontation behind the Los Panchos taco shop on Broadway.

Protesters, community leaders and his family say the shooting was unwarranted and have demanded police release video of the shooting, captured by a witness.

Crowds of about 300 people turned out Tuesday and Wednesday nights to denounce the shooting.

Mayor Bill Wells and police Chief Jeff Davis have pleaded for calm in the community. Wells said Wednesday night that he was pleased the demonstrations hadn’t turned violent.

“While there is anger, I don’t think there’s anger to the point that it leads to violence. I’m happy about that,” the mayor said.

Police set to release videotape of officers shooting California man


By Patrick Fallon
September 30, 2016

EL CAJON, Calif. (Reuters) - A videotape of police shooting an unarmed black man dead behind a taco stand in El Cajon, California, will be made public, authorities said on Friday.

The El Cajon Police Department said in a statement that the video of the fatal shooting of Ugandan-born 38-year-old Alfred Olango, which was taken by a bystander, would be made public during a press conference scheduled for 2 p.m. Pacific time. (5 p.m. ET)

Family members and activists have called for police to release the video, which they believe will show that officers acted improperly during the confrontation with Olango.

Olango's mother, during an emotional press conference on Thursday, said that her son was having a mental breakdown when he was confronted by police at Los Ponchos taco shop in the San Diego suburb and that they should have helped him instead of quickly opening fire.

The tragedy has gained attention in Africa, where officials from several countries criticized Olango's death and the succession of police killings of black men in the United States.

On Thursday night, some 75 protesters gathered near the scene of the shooting and threw rocks and bottles, stopped vehicles and broke car windows.

They also knocked a motorcyclist off his bike and assaulted him, the El Cajon Police Department said.

Police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd and arrested two men for unlawful assembly, the police statement said.

Attorneys for Olango's family have criticized authorities for releasing the image of Olango pointing an object at an officer, saying it gave an unfair impression of the former Ugandan refugee, and called for the public release of the full video taken by a bystander.

El Cajon officer Richard Gonsalves and a colleague on the police force, whose name was not released, were responding to emergency calls about a "mentally unstable" man walking in traffic, officials said.

Police have said Olango ignored commands to take his hand out of his pocket before pulling out an object later determined to be a vaping device used to inhale nicotine. Olango assumed a "shooting stance" and pointed the object, which had a 3-inch-long (8-cm) cylinder, police said. No gun was found.

Gonsalves opened fire and the other officer discharged a Taser device, police said. Police have not said how many shots were fired. A family spokesman said Olango was shot five times.

The officers have been placed on administrative leave during an investigation into the shooting.

Big talk since we tried to deport him twice and they refused to take him back.
