No one is defending this cop. He (the cop) has even admitted he fucked up. He'll burn at the stake (figuratively) for this.

Yeah.....the therapist asks the cop, "why did you shoot me sir".....the cop responds, " I don't know".......is he serious or just plain stupid? I wonder what charges will be brought up?

I'm guessing he gets charged w/ some sort of assault charges. Since the victim didn't die, I assume he'll get off lightly. I was a professional firefighter in a big city for more than 15 years. I've seen some of the real life "things" that cops have to deal with and I've responded to clean up after cops....and I've seen cops who were on the wrong side of an attack. I side w/ the cops in most of these instances. I'm not blind either....this cop fucked up. I have no clue what was going through his mind....neither do you or anyone else. It's a difficult job....they are underpaid and most are overworked. But I do not tolerate the idea that cops are "racist" and intentionally go after blacks and/or minorities. That's where I stop listening to opposing views. The Baltimore Freddie Gray case is a perfect example, 3 of the 6 cops were black!

That's fucked up. Guy was trying to help a guy who is obviously mentally challenged and you're gonna shoot him?

They handcuffed him after they shot him too. Terrible.

Why did the bystander stop recording when the police officer shot the guy though?

This isn't anything new, it's just on video and broadcast into your home now.

If anything cops are much, much more careful now because of increased surveillance. Nobody wants to ruin their career shooting someone by accident like this guy did.

Damn, those cops, if it happens like they are saying. Cops like that have no business on the force, and their punishment should be MORE than the max. They are trusted to uphold the law, so they should be set to higher standards and laws when broken.

Is there a death penalty for these cops in Florida if this is 100% true of a story?



i give it 2 days before an ambush there

Willie, every action causes a reaction.....this didn't start by citizens shooting cops, this started by cops abusing their power, & beating the sh*t out of citizens which was finally caught on video tape after years of abuse.

I will not categorize all cops in.these situations, because there are great cops out there, but the bad ones f**k it up for the good ones, just like criminals make it bad for good citizens.

In this Florida incident, there's absolutely no excuse for this cop to shoot this man.....what was he scared of, a Tonka truck being rolled around by an autistic man? Or the unarmed black therapist yelling out I'm not armed? I understand what you mean about the ambush scenarios, but you can't go around shooting innocent people. I hope this action of the cop doesn't cause a reaction from some radical people shooting cops......but I have this feeling it will, & yes, it is spinning out of control & I don't see an end to it.

people who commit crimes should be prosecuted, that includes cops

I think a far bigger problem today is all the trumped up racial charges against police officers leading to violent protests and multiple slayings

and with the increase in unwarranted violence against police officers throughout this country, they are going to start acting much more defensively

I'm not defending any particular action, I am attacking the concept that police are responsible for today's racial hatred. I place that blame squarely on race baiting political leaders and an adoring enabling biased media

Scariest part of this whole thing...


“Sir, why did you shoot me?” Kinsey recalled asking the officer.

“He said, ‘I don’t know.’ ”

You are blind to the view of the minorities that have a history of being treated poorly by the majority...while the majority also wields all of the power and influence.

holy shit......pretty courageous dude to work with special needs kids and then put himself at risk for someone in need (the autistic kid)

guy has a lot more balls and heart than most of us....hope even the "race war" and "shoot a black person a day" crew on here can recognize that

dont even know what to say about the cop other than glad it was caught on camera

919, I think people are blind to all the problems people create for themselves by creating victims

of course there's racism, the vast majority of people are not racists and those that tend to be the most racists are those screaming racism all the time

be proud of who you are, do the right thing, don't be concerned with what small minds think, become educated, be a father and work hard

that's what the message should be, even an African American can become POTUS, that's what the message should be

instead the message is police officers throughout this country are racists, selfish white men are holding you down, punish your enemies.............................it makes me vomit, I can't stand bullshit and liars and people dividing the nation to advance their own political careers

we'll never have a color blind society as long as we keep injecting race into everything, and it's the democrats who keep doing that by design

divide and conquer, it's their life's blood

It appears that one of the police officers is black.
