“These are the foundation of police training,” he said, according to the paper. “If you don’t pass these, you go back to police college.”

Alfred Olango, who was mentally ill according to court records, was shot and killed by El Cajon police officer Richard Gonsalves on Sept. 27 as another officer simultaneously deployed his Taser. Police said Alfred withdrew an object from his pocket and took aim at them in a “shooting stance.” However, it was later discovered that Olango was reaching for his silver vape smoking device. Brief video footage of the encounter was later released.

“Police are supposed to use a gun as a last resort,” Richard Olango said, according to the Union-Tribune. “From the time police arrived to the time my son was dead was one minute and 29 seconds.”

Alfred’s brother Joeffrey Olango previously described Alfred, who was a father of two, as a man who dreamed about opening up a family restaurant.
