EL CAJON, Calif. (KABC) -- 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.
Olango's family, along with attorneys and activists, held a press conference and demanded the release of the witness cellphone video that shows the shooting.
Olango, 38, was shot and killed Tuesday after police responded to calls of a man acting erratically and running into traffic. Initial reports indicated Olango may have been mentally ill, but his mother said that wasn't true.
"He lost a best friend...people deal with death differently," Pamela Benge said. "He couldn't hold it the way I hold mine...he just got out of it so he was not mentally ill, never."

The headline led me to believe that the mother had been shot. Sloppy.
Same here, but have taken Common Core.
‘SUICIDE BY COP’, obviously.
The rest of the headline is:
...says her son was not mentally ill as reported
Same here.
TR means truncated. The headline is too long to be posted.
It ain’t about color, it is always about behavior when coming in contact with police.
Point a shiny object at police in a shooters stance, you have a very good chance of getting shot...
I guess he won...
This guy emigrated here to live the American dream and became a dope dealer, and who also did time for a gun charge as well.
Can BLM not find one decent citizen to prop up? Is convicted violent felons the only arrows in their quiver?
Folks, mark my works. If Hillary becomes President, she will attempt to federalize the police. That police force will be run by and under the jurisdiction of the DOJ, who will in turn be rife with BLM members.
Read that wrong. I thought his mom was shot too, for a second.
Deport the mom. Uganda wouldn’t take him back. This is after W. gave them billions to fight aids.
They shot the mom? Next thing you know, they will tell us Boo got shot.
He wasn’t mentally ill, but a bag of bath salts and he got bat-shit crazy .... which some could easily misconstrue as mentally ill!
