Protesters chant 'murder' in police shooting of black man in California

By Marty Graham
EL CAJON, Ca, Sep 28 (Reuters) Protesters yelled "murder" and demanded a federal investigation today after a police officer in southern California shot and killed an unarmed black man, less than two weeks after similar incidents sparked outrage in two other US cities.
In the latest shooting, two officers responded to calls about an African-American man in his 30s walking in traffic and "not acting like himself," according to police in El Cajon, a city of about 100,000 residents some 24 km northeast of San Diego.
