That cop needs to be fired if the news report is true.

Why'd you shoot?

I don't know.

If the report is true firing shouldn't be all the punishment he receives but it probably will be.

Most times I give the cops the benefit of doubt but seriously WTF. The guy was laying on his back with his empty hands out and he still got shot.

I'd like to see the missing portion of the video

This ought to really ease the tension between cops and black people.

Again, let's wait for the facts...........lots of video missing. Why is there video missing?

If he got shot for no reason? Sure, charge the officer.

Wait for the missing video.

I'm thinking they thought the fat guy had a weapon and missed him

the "I don't know"( why I shot ) quote if accurate is going to hang that cop I suspect

Black guy a few feet from fat dude.

Appears to be complying wholeheartedly.

Missing video might prove otherwise, but doesn't look good now.

Did I make it before the circle jerk crowd?

Sounds like an oops shot was fired.

ETA: nope, three rounds seem to be rather intentional. Crap.

I'm guessing the autistic guy made a furtive motion with the toy truck or got froggy and somebody missed him and hit guy on the ground. Or maybe it was just a fuckup. Guess we will find out

Posted: 7/20/2016 11:45:55 PM EDT

"I don't know" is never the correct answer.

This looks really bad based on the information so far.

Posted: 7/20/2016 11:46:16 PM EDT

[#29]

guy clearly didn't raise his three hands and he had a weapon good shot.... oops you only have 2 hands and the weapon was invisible

Toy truck didn't appear to have a red tip to make it discernible from the real thing.

Video missing most important part of video makes rational people wonder if skipped footage coincides with what is being reported.

Kinsey said when he asked the officer why he fired his weapon, the cop responded, “I don’t know.”

View Quote

Cuevas said officers received a 911 call indicating a man was in the street with a gun threatening to kill himself. They responded to Northeast 127th Street and about 14th Avenue and began barking orders. When the autistic man didn’t comply, an officer fired three times, striking Kinsey once in the leg. He was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

call me suspicious....but why does the video cut out while the guy is compliant, and then cut back after he is shot?

Wow I really feel bad for that guy. A professional, a black man, in a caregiving role, working with autistic people. He's out there trying to help a patient, he does EVERYTHING right, including keeping his hands up in the air, and not only does he still get shot anyway, he also gets handcuffed. This is the kind of thing that convinces blacks that the police are out to get them. This will not be helpful.

I'm guessing the missing video is the graphic bits of the guy getting shot. If there is exculpatory evidence in the video, I hope the police officials release it before the rioting starts. It sure doesn't look good at this point.

As if cops all across America don't already have a bad rep. Not all people are cut out to do that job, Barney Fife shakiest guns in the west type of guys need to stay in the office.

one would think, with out current "national conversation" that if the officer just walked up and shot the guy while he was on his back
compliant....that part of the video would not have been cut out.....

Hope the idiot that made the false 911 call
gets prosecuted.
Withholding the shooting part of the video plays into
the hands of cop haters.
What can the Police be thinking?
