New Evidence: Florida Cop Knew Charles Kinsey Had No Gun When He Shot Him

‘A recently released audio recording reveals the Florida police officer who shot an unarmed man who was lying on the ground last July had been told that there was no gun before he fired three times.
On Tuesday, an hour-long interview conducted by Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigators with North Miami Police Chief Gary Eugene was released by the Miami New Times. The interview reveals that Officer Jonathan Aledda, who shot Charles Kinsey, a behavior therapist at a mental health center, had been told that the gun on the scene was actually a toy truck.
The incident occurred last July when Arnaldo Rios, a 23-year-old man with autism, ran away from a local group home. Kinsey went to bring Rios back when they were confronted by Miami-Dade police officers, who ordered the two men to get on the ground.
Cell phone footage of the event shows Kinsey complying with police, and repeatedly trying to explain the situation to Rios. When Rios did not follow police orders to lie down, a Miami officer shot three times, striking Kinsey in the leg with an assault rifle.’
