Officers responded to the scene Monday to find 47-year-old Charles Kinsey, a therapist who works with people with disabilities, according to WSVN-TV (Video shows moments before North Miami Police shot unarmed man – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort Lauderdale), trying to get his 27-year-old patient back to a facility from where he wandered.

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.



Another carless cop.....?

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?

Isn't it time to disband the FBI, TSA, ATF and most police departments?

If what they say is true, the officer should be held accountable.

Why them? Virtually all police shootings are made by municipal cops. Genius

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.
