The day after a black man was fatally shot by police in El Cajon, California, video captured protesters attacking a Donald Trump supporter.
The man was chased through a strip mall parking lot Wednesday until he fell to the ground and his red âMake America Great Againâ cap was pulled from his hands.
He was then surrounded by a large crowd until a few people tried to calm the protesters and then led the man away to a safer spot.
In another tense scene, a video camera caught the moment a driver was stopped in the street by surrounding protesters and then plowed past them with at least one protester tumbling to the street:
In a longer clip, the Trump supporter was seen being shielded by a few people as the crowd continued to gather and yell.
Soon police arrived at the scene, and the Trump supporter flagged them down and hurried toward them as others were heard yelling, âGet him!â and âGet the f*** outta here, man!â
When the Trump supporter explained on camera what happened to him, someone asked him, âWhy did you decide to wear a Donald Trump hat?â
âSir, thatâs a terrible question,â the man replied. âIâm simply a Donald J. Trump supporter who also happens to want equality. ⌠I didnât do any type of provoking.â
The man, who identified himself as Feras Jabro, added that he shouldnât have to remove a hat to witness a protest.
Hereâs the clip (Content warning: Rough language):
More than 200 people marched in the streets near the site of the shooting of Alfred Olango, yelling, âNo justice, no peace. No racist police!â
Police in riot gear, some of them with dogs, faced off with protesters occasionally, bringing some tense moments, but mostly kept their distance.
On Tuesday, Olango pulled a large electronic cigarette, known as a vape pen, from his pocket and assumed a âshooting stanceâ as he pointed at the police officer who fired while a second officer stood nearby trying to subdue him with a stun gun, El Cajon police said.
An attorney said Olango was having an emotional breakdown over the recent death of his best friend.
