A therapist who works with people with disabilities is telling his story after he said police shot him while he was trying to help his patient with autism.

Cellphone video was released Wednesday afternoon showing Charles Kinsey lying on the ground with his hands in the air, telling officers that weapons are not necessary. “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.”

In his hospital bed and wearing bandages, Kinsey said, he was attempting to calm an autistic patient who ran away from a group home. Kinsey could be heard in the video saying, “All he has is a toy truck. A toy truck. I am a behavior therapist at a group home.”

He is also heard asking his patient to calm down. “Rinaldo, please be still, Rinaldo. Sit down, Rinaldo. Lay on your stomach.”

The ordeal went on for a few minutes before Kinsey said one of the officers shot him. “I’m like this right here, and when he shot me, it was so surprising,” Kinsey said.

The guy was on the ground with both hands in the air and he still got shot.

FFS I know its tough to fire these guys, but couldn't they at least pin them to desk jobs for the rest of their careers so they never interact w/ the public again.

Man, cops love shooting people in the States. For some reason they don't have the ability to speak to people, or interact with the public in a mature way, without pulling out their gun and shooting whoever happens to be in their vicinity.

Patrol car video publicly released Thursday shows a white Austin, Texas, police officer violently throwing a black woman to the ground during a traffic stop, followed by another white officer telling her black people have "violent tendencies" and whites are justifiably afraid.

Speaking of faulty road side drug tests

Quote:

A man in Orlando, Florida, says he spent 10 hours in jail after police mistook doughnut glaze in his car for crystal methamphetamine.

Daniel Rushing was pulled over in December for a traffic violation when Cpl. Shelby Riggs-Hopkin spotted flakes of a mysterious substance on the floor that she suspected were “some sort of narcotic,” she wrote in an arrest report obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

Rushing told the outlet that he agreed to a search of his car because he knew he had nothing to hide. He says he told officers the flakes were glaze from a Krispy Kreme Donut he ate in the car, and was shocked when two roadside drug tests came back positive for crystal meth.

“I kept telling them, ‘That’s … glaze from a doughnut,” he told the Orlando Sentinel. “They tried to say it was crack cocaine at first, then they said, ‘No, it’s meth, crystal meth.’”

An lol kicker

Quote:

Orland Police Sgt. Wanda Ford told The Huffington Post that there’s no confirmation the substance was specifically doughnut glaze — testing merely determined that it was not an illegal drug.

"Why don't you let the cops search your car when they ask you to? Do you have something to hide?"

*Has nothing to hide and goes to jail anyways.*

The DOJ report on Balitmore

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ce-department/

Quote:

“Numerous Baltimore residents interviewed by the Justice Department recounted stories of BPD officers ‘jumping out’ of police vehicles and strip-searching individuals on public streets.

Quote:

“In some cases, BPD supervisors have instructed their subordinates to specifically target African Americans for enforcement. A sergeant told us that in 2011 her lieutenant — a commander in charge of setting enforcement priorities for an entire police district during the shift — ordered the sergeant to instruct officers under her command to ‘lock up all the black hoodies’ in her district.

Quote:

Analysis of this data reveals that African Americans account for the overwhelming majority of BPD’s discretionary misdemeanor arrests, and that reviewing officials are more likely to dismiss charges against African Americans—indicating that officers apply a lower standard when making them.

Quote:

The report outlined numerous examples of black men arrested or stopped merely for walking down the sidewalk, sitting on steps outside a private home or talking outside of a liquor store with their sibling — essentially stopping people on the street for no good legal reason.

Quote:

Officers often targeted black pedestrians for stops without reasonable suspicion. Based on a sample of about 7,200 cases, only 1 out of every 27 pedestrian stops resulted in a citation or arrest.

Such stops would often occur under a supervisor’s directive’s to “clear corners,” a practice of stopping and questioning a group and ordering them to scatter. During a ride-along with Justice Department officials, a sergeant told a patrol officer to “clear a corner,” but the patrol officer said he had no reason to stop them.

“The sergeant replied, ‘Then make something up.’”

Quote:

In one case, police stopped a black man wearing a hoodie in a “high crime area” because he “thought it could be possible that the individual could be out seeking a victim of opportunity.” The incident escalated with police — who had no legal reason to stop the man — beating the man in the face, neck and ribs and deploying a Taser on him twice.

The man was later taken to a hospital, and not charged with any offense. Yet later, the officer’s supervisor determined in a report that the “officers showed great restraint and professionalism.”

It's incredible to see page after page of cops going to town on people for stupid **** like loitering or dice, then suddenly we get to sexual assault and it's 'No crime here, everyone's solid.'
