An autistic man’s therapist was shot and wounded by police in Florida while lying on the street with his hands in the air. Kinsey, who is black, lay down and put his hands up while trying to get his patient to comply. “Sir, there’s no need for firearms,” Kinsey said he told police before he was shot, according to the paper. It was like a mosquito bite.”Police have not released the name of the officer who fired the shots. A lawyer for Kinsey, Hilton Napoleon, gave the Herald a video showing the moments leading up to the shooting.
