EL CAJON, Calif., Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Demonstrators gathered Tuesday near San Diego to protest what they described as a racially charged police shooting death of an African-American man, though police justified the incident, saying he took a "shooting stance" toward officers.
The shooting took place after police in El Cajon, Calif., responded to a call of a man in his 30s walking through traffic and acting "erratically,' El Cajon Police Lt. Rob Ransweiler said.
