Update: public responds to police shooting of El Cajon black man

Protests continue in the California city of El Cajon, after police fatally shot a black man who pointed a vaping device at officers. 

38-year-old Alfred Olango was tasered then shot by police Tuesday after his sister put in a 911 call asking for help for her mentally ill brother. 

Take Two spoke with KPBS reporter Erik Anderson about the public's response.
