SAN FRANCISCO — More than 500 demonstrators marched through the Mission District here March 29 to protest the police killing of 28-year-old Alejandro Nieto. On March 21, the student at City College of San Francisco and night club security guard was in Bernal Heights Park on his way to work when someone called 911, reporting a Latino man with a gun. Cops say they opened fire on Nieto, who was wearing a Taser in a holster, because he didn’t put his hands up as ordered and pointed what they thought was a firearm at them. “He was not bothering anyone,” said Benjamin Bac Sierra, Nieto’s friend and former English professor. “There is no justification whatsoever — whatsoever — for him to be massacred with 14 bullet holes.”
