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.

“Sir, why did you shoot me?”

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t know’

Ridiculous! I guess that’s what we get for having less training than most jobs.

#from christina’s insta post today it’s seems like everyone knew that only the white ppl with shows got paid#for them to always demand help of sohla (and sometimes others) is so thoughtless and at the end of the day abhorrent#and the fact that sohla can’t say no!!!! b/c she’s on camera#she can’t push back#bon appetit#anyway#ba dead to me!!!!#also claire as a PASTRY chef who went to FRENCH PASTRY SCHOOL doesn’t know and refuses to learn how to temper chocolate… bro…. what#and she has said MULTIPLE times i’m not worried about tempering anymore sohla can help me#the absolute degradation of labor of color that they all actively do

I also agree with what someone on reddit said about this too:

“The clips show Sohla being tokenized and exploited in real time. She is clearly planted there for Claire/Brad/whomever to ask leading questions to get conversation going about whatever they’re making (because having one chef talk the whole time is boring and banter is good TV). And the reason it’s Sohla and not Carla or Molly a lot of the time is because she’s a POC and they want to showcase their ‘diversity.’”
