Florida policeman shoots autistic man's unarmed black therapist

North Miami Assistant Police Chief Neal Cuevas said officers were called out on Monday, following reports of a man threatening to shoot himself.
Police ordered Mr Kinsey and the patient to lie on the ground, he told The Miami Herald.
The video shows Mr Kinsey lying down while trying to get his patient to comply.
He can be heard telling officers he has no weapon, and that the other man is autistic and has a toy truck.
An officer then fired three times, striking Kinsey in the leg, Mr Cuevas said. No weapon was found.

I'm certain the police officer feels that speaking to to the arresting officers to clarify peaceful intent is somehow resisting arrest....

You know, at some point you have to ask is there isn't some deliberate intention to incite massive interracial violence going on. These are getting more and more ridiculous. Examples need to be made. FAST.

Because if this one doesn't do it, they'll probably make sure it's an unarmed black pastor on the next one. That should do the job.

This one almost fits, except the pastor was white.

BTW the police officer who did the shooting was on an undercover drug sting even though he had been on the force only 40 days and had not completed his firearms training, and had received no instruction on the permissible use of deadly force.

Also BTW note that you can be killed by the police even if you are not black.
