Unarmed Black Man With Hands Up Shot By Police.

Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.

It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.

Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.

The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.

North Miami police have not released much information at all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of this investigation.

what the fuck? you shoot a unarmed man, hands up, lying on the ground, not even giving you lip, and all you have to fucking say is “i dont know”???? im so pissed off that this would never happen to me because im white. im pissed off white killers are treated to hamburgers while peaceful, unarmed, compliant black people are being shot and/or killed simply because the officer felt like it. not even felt like it. he didnt know. HE DIDNT FUCKING KNOW??? HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW??? IF YOU SHOOT SOMEONE AND YOU CANT EVEN THINK OF A REASON WHY, YOU SHOULDNT BE WITHIN FIFTY FUCKING MILES OF A GUN.

This white woman’s shocking account of police brutality reveals the importance of the #BlackLivesMatter movement

Molly Suzanna shared a story on Facebook that she had never told before: when she was 19, she ran a red light while crying, then was pulled over and forcefully removed and beaten by a police officer. She explains in the letter that she believes her situation would have been even worse had she been black — and she ends the letter with an important call to action.

I hate that social media has commodified performative grief and outrage to the point that every fucking person thinks that every tragedy that happens needs to be addressed by them, personally. I hate that there’s an expectation that everyone make some grand statement and that if you don’t do it, you must be heartless or hate the victims. We’re not all celebrities or politicians. Not every voice needs to be heard at all times. The world probably doesn’t NEED anyone’s take if it doesn’t contain new information. Processing things silently isn’t bad and it doesn’t make anyone a bad person and I honestly much prefer it to a lot of the self-serving bullshit you see when something awful happens in the world.

I fall into that trap. Most people do. It’s shit and it produces a lot of shit sentiment. “WHY AREN’T PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS?!” is my least favorite sentence in the world right now. Most people, when it comes to tragedy, have nothing to say. Most uninvolved people, in these circumstances, should say less.

‘He’s so sad’.

‘He was crying when he realised he kicked you.’

‘He’s a lost little boy.’

‘HE’S A LOST LITTLE BOY.’

LOST. LITTLE. BOY.

This is abuser talk 101. He hurts you and then makes it about his pain. A grown adult man who chooses to beat a woman repeatedly is not a child. I don’t care if he’s in pain. That’s not an excuse.

It is NOT an abuse victim’s job to forgive and comfort her abuser. It’s part of the cycle of abuse.

People in fandoms irritate the hell out of me. They can’t just see a cool set of best friends in a show and leave it at that, no, they have to turn them into a couple and “ship” the fuck out of them so that it almost ruins it for other people, realistic people, who just love the best friends dynamic. And I SWEAR some people truly believe that just because they ship something, it must be canon, even if the characters have no romantic interest in each other whatsoever. It’s cool to ship whoever you want and it’s cool that you’d like to see certain characters in a relationship, but dudes...it’s kind of creepy to pretend that they are if they’re not. Best friends are close...they don’t always want to fuck each other.
