The Black Lives Matter (BLM) mantra, “Hands up don’t shoot” was brought to life after a North Miami police officer shot an unarmed black man who had his hands in the air.

The officer made headlines after he claimed he thought he was in danger proceeding an incident where he shot a therapist who hand his hands in the air.

The officer fired his gun three times at the therapist, hitting him once in the leg.

After the shooting, the officer flipped Kinsey onto his back and handcuffed him. It took 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive on the scene.

The incident began when an autistic man was found sitting in the street. The officer called to the scene said he wanted to help the man, but was confused when he saw something in his arms.

The autistic man was holding a toy truck and sat next to Kinsey on the pavement. Kinsey told the cop: “All he has is a toy truck.”

He then explained that he is “a behavior therapist at a group home.”

Kinsey, who is in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound, told the media: “I was more worried about him than myself. As long as I’ve got my hands up, they’re not gonna shoot me, that’s what I’m thinking. Wow, was I wrong.”

According to North Miami Police Chief Gary Eugene, a 911 call was made concerning an armed man threatening suicide. Eugene said: “Our officers responded to the scene with that threat in mind. We had witness statements that there was a gun. We had a 911 call with that same information. However, I want to make it clear, there was no gun recovered.”

This is because the man in question had a toy truck and not a gun. He was an autistic patient at the same group home Kinsey is employed.

When Kinsey told the officers that his patient had a toy truck, he was ignored and told to lay on the ground and be still.

Kinsey told his patient: “Please be still … get down … lay on your stomach.”

When asked about the shooting, Kinsey said: “When he hit me, I’m like, I still got my hands in the air. I’m like, ‘Sir, why did you shoot me?’ He said to me, ‘I don’t know.’ ”

Hilton Napoleon, Kinsey’s attorney, said in a press conference: “The reality is that he believed … that if you comply with the police and you lay on the ground with your hands up, and if you speak to them like my client was speaking to them, as Americans, we try to believe that that will not result in you getting shot.”

Napoleon added: “Physically, he will recover, but mentally, he felt like he did everything he could possibly do and that wasn’t good enough. You can’t shoot unarmed people, period.”

Eugene claims that the officers who arrived on the scene “attempted to negotiate with the two men” and at some point one of the officers discharged his weapon.

The name and details about the officer in question have been declined for public knowledge by the North Miami police department. That officer has been placed on administrative leave.
