| Subject: Keystone Kop: Florida cop who shot unarmed therapist was aiming for his autistic patient — who was holding a toy truck Thu Jul 21, 2016 9:59 pm | |
| The Florida cop who shot an unarmed therapist on the street was actually aiming for the man’s autistic patient, a union official said Wednesday.
The North Miami police officer thought Charles Kinsey — who was lying on his back with his arms in the air — was in danger, his union chief said.
The officer meant to hit the autistic man Kinsey was trying to help — and he fired three times, according to North Miami police.
But he missed the patient, and hit Kinsey instead, the union chief explained. The cop feared the confused autistic patient — holding a toy truck as he sat next to Kinsey on the pavement — might have posed a safety threat, the labor leader said.
