Background:
http://www.latimes.com/topic/crime-law-justice/alfred-olango-PEOCVC00436-topic.html
The killing of Alfred Olango, an unarmed black man, in San Diego County in September of 2016 sparked international attention and outrage following his death. The sister of Alfred Olango made several calls to 911 on the day of the shooting with concerns about his "erratic" behavior and safety. During her calls, she was constantly asked if Olango "was black or white" and told that authorities did not thing the situation was a priority. When police finally arrived, they ordered Olango to take his hands out of his pockets. When Olango complied, he pulled out an e-cigarette. Out of the two officers at the scene, one used his taser on Olango and the other officer shot him five times and Olango later died. The family and NAN along with other organizations and activists continue to fight for justice in the killing of Alfred Olango.
