This is getting silly.

NORTH MIAMI, Fla., July 21 (UPI) — Police in South Florida shot an unarmed caretaker who had his hands in the air as he explained he was a medical professional caring for an autistic man outside a group home, newly released cellphone video shows.

Charles Kinsey, 47, is seen lying on his back with his arms up and telling police he is a behavioral therapist in the video. A man, later identified as a 24-year-old autistic patient from the assisted living facility where Kinsey works, is seen sitting near him cross-legged, at times shouting.

Kinsey was shot at least once in the leg.

The incident unfolded on Monday, when police answered the call near the group home where Kinsey works and the autistic man lives. Police received reports of a suicidal man with a weapon.

In the video, the autistic man can be seen holding a small white object that Kinsey identified as a toy truck.

Kinsey can be heard telling police, “All he has is a toy truck, a toy truck. I am a behavior therapist at a group home.”

In the video, Kinsey also can be heard attempting to calm the autistic man, saying “Rinaldo, please be still. Rinaldo, sit down. Rinaldo, lay on your stomach.”

After he was shot, Kinsey said he was handcuffed and positioned face down on the pavement for about 20 minutes before an ambulance arrived. He said he asked the officer why he was shot.

“[I said] ‘Sir, why did you shoot me? His words to me, he said ‘I don’t know’,” Kinsey said from his hospital bed.

“I was really more worried about [the autistic patient] than myself. I was thinking as long as I have my hands up … they’re not going to shoot me. This is what I’m thinking, they’re not going to shoot me. Wow, was I wrong,” Kinsey said.

The sheer stupid, utter crazy numb-nutz moron with no idea of the sort of stupid crazy dumb thing he shouldn’t do, on camera too. And the police wonder why their popularity is just one percentage point above those who kill them.

I hope he is locked away with all the other crazies to keep him away from the innocent and the fragile.

but can he fire them while hiding under the bed?

Remotely, probably.

Something tells me if you drop another 20ft you should be ok…;o)

“FR24 – NOW WITH AN EXTRA 100,000 CONTACTS WORLDWIDE”?

Might I suggest that with the ones I was watching last night there could be a problem with the RADAR, GPS, whatever since these things were driving over fields, roads, streams, woodland, which could have worked had they been drones and equally had they been main battle tanks driving across a housing estate.

I’m not insulting him – he’s got a gun!

Or two. And probably more.

Hmm, I smell popcorn.

An old punk and a racing driver from South Africa…
