Friday while behavioral therapist Charles Kinsey was attempting to return a runaway autistic patient to a halfway house Miami he was shot by police. A 911 call to authorities was placed, in which the caller stated there was a man attempting to commit suicide in the street. When police arrived, the autistic patient was sitting in the street playing with a toy truck. Kinsey decided the best way to not get shot was to lay on the ground with his hands in the air, to appear as non-threatening as possible. Despite this strategy Johnathan Aledda fired three shots at the men, one bullet entered Kinsey's leg.

In the aftermath a second officer, Emile Hollant, was suspended after lying to investigators as part of a cover-up.

North Miami's police union representative John Riveria made a public statement trying to justify the shooting:

Many officers thought the white male had a firearm. Only much later, when we're able to Monday morning quarterback, do we find out that it's a toy. Only much later do we find out that the individual was autistic.

The justification seems to be a lie. In a cell phone video recording taken from a bystander at the scene, Kinsey can be heard yelling to officers the autistic patient was holding a truck and not arming a weapon. Even with alleged SWAT training Aledda not only missed his claimed target, he put a bullet in a black man.

In a moment of zen, Kinsey stated to a local news station:

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.'

Peace in our time.

A police sniper in Wynnewood Oklahoma killed Opie, a five year old child's dog, through the cover provided by a fence (archived). At the time Opie was shot he was attending his master's birthday party when police decided to execute a warrant against a suspect who had last resided in the residence hosting the party a decade ago. Wynnewood Police Chief Ken Moore (WOT:nonperson) defended the sniper's use of force saying the officer was unaware of Opie's presence and Opie had "charged at him" while on the other side of the fence. The war criminal Moore further defended raiding a rental property that had cycled through tenants numerous times in the decade since the suspect last resided there by offering "we had to start somewhere."

Having recieve numerous death threats motivated by Opie's murder Moore offered that the department, in light of recent events was very concerned.

Oklahoma is a testbed for "law enforcement" oppression tactics which are often later exported to other parts of the United States. Peace in our time.

Zero Hedge reports that five men are under arrest in D.C after firing shots at police officers (archived). According to an unidentified spokesperson for the department the shots were not an attack on police officers, instead the shooting was merely a strategy for trying to avoid arrest. They were not successful. Omitted from any public statement is a mechanism by which shooting at police officers could be successful at avoiding or at least delaying arrest. Peace in our time!
