Another unarmed African American male was shot by police today in Miami, Florida. The victim, Charles Kinsey, a therapist, was trying to calm his autistic patient down when he was approached by police.
According to USUncut, police had received a call about a man with a gun threatening to commit suicide, referring to the autistic boy.
Charles tried to talk to the officers in the video, while they had their guns drawn on him.
“When I went to the ground, I went to the ground with my hands up,” Kinsey said, “and I am laying there just like this. Telling them again there is no need for firearms. He is autistic. He has a toy truck in his hand.”
Police ended up shooting Charles and he just doesn’t know why.
“I thought it was a mosquito bite, and when it hit me I had my hands in the air, and I’m thinking I just got shot!” Kinsey said. “And I’m saying, ‘Sir, why did you shoot me?’ and his words to me were, ‘I don’t know.’”
#Roommates Charles said he was treated badly after he was shot and was handcuffed and left bleeding before he got any type of help.
“I was really more worried about him than myself. I was thinking as long as I have my hands up,” Kinsey said, “they’re not going to shoot me. This is what I’m thinking, they’re not going to shoot me. Wow, was I wrong.”
