Cuevas says police ordered Kinsey and the patient, who was sitting in the street playing with a toy truck, to lie on the ground. Kinsey lies down and puts his hands up while trying to get his patient to comply. An officer then fired three times, striking Kinsey in the leg, Cuevas said. No weapon was found.
Oh here we go on. Come on cop apologists, bring on the excuses. Did the runaway slave, err I mean the nice black man, didn't put his hands up far enough?
Terrible situation, I would have to guess negligent discharge. Those officers shouldn't have been working if that went down the way it says, they may not have been in the state of mind to do their job correctly. The one that shot him is likely screwed and rightly so if he was negligent. Glad the guy was only injured, he seems like a real solid and reasonable guy.

Three shots from a rifle and only one struck and lightly wounded the man lying on the ground? That's either some poor marksmanship or an accidental shot, although it would mean the officer missed the autistic guy completely.
Luckily nobody was killed. The cop will be looking for a new job soon.
