(Miami Herald) When a 23-year-old autistic man carrying a toy truck wandered from a mental health center out into the street Monday, a worker there named Charles Kinsey went to retrieve him.
A few minutes later the autistic man was still sitting cross-legged blocking the roadway while playing with the small, rectangular white toy. And Kinsey was prone on the ground next to him — a bullet from an assault rifle fired by a police officer having struck his leg.
“He throws his hands up in the air and says, ‘Don’t shoot me.’ They say lie on the ground, so he does,” Kinsey’s attorney Hilton Napoleon said Wednesday. “He’s on his back with his hands in the air trying to convince the other guy to lie down. It doesn’t make any sense.”
Cellphone video footage obtained by Napoleon clearly shows the heavy-set autistic man sitting and playing with his toy while Kinsey, dressed in a yellow shirt and shorts, obeys police orders to lie down on his back.
The video, taken before the officer fired his weapon, shows Kinsey on his back with his hands in the air telling police he didn’t have a weapon and asking them not to fire. At one point the autistic man appears to yell at Kinsey to shut up. A second brief video shows officers who are carrying rifles physically patting down Kinsey and the autistic man while they are lying on the ground.
In an interview with WSVN-Channel 7, Kinsey said that after he was shot, officers approached and flipped him over and handcuffed him.
“Sir, there’s no need for firearms,” Kinsey told the news station he said to police before he was shot. “It was so surprising. It was like a mosquito bite.”
Charles Kinsey speaks from his hospital bed about shooting incident
Kinsey said when he asked the officer why he fired his weapon, the cop responded, “I don’t know.”
By Wednesday, North Miami police hadn’t offered much of an explanation. Assistant Police Chief Neal Cuevas said the investigation has been turned over to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office.
Cuevas said officers received a 911 call indicating a man was in the street with a gun threatening to kill himself. They responded to Northeast 127th Street and about 14th Avenue and began barking orders. When the autistic man didn’t comply, an officer fired three times, striking Kinsey once in the leg. He was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Cuevas said he didn’t know who the officer was aiming at when he struck Kinsey. The offier’s name hasn’t been released.
In a prepared statement, North Miami police spokeswoman Natalie Buissereth said “arriving officers attempted to negotiate with the two men on the scene, one of whom was later identified as suffering from autism... At some point during the on-scene negotiation, one of the responding officers discharged his weapon.”
Police still hadn’t released any paperwork or the incident report of the shooting by Wednesday. There is no indication that a weapon of any kind was found. The officer who fired his weapon has been placed on administrative leave, as is standard, for at least a week.
Kinsey, 47, who’s worked at MacTown Panther Group Homes for a little over a year, wasn’t badly injured and is expected to be home by Thursday.
By Wednesday, Napoleon said he was already negotiating a possible settlement with the city of North Miami.
“They realize this was something inappropriate regarding the shooting,” he said. “If police departments come out more and admit fault, that would probably go a long way,” toward improving relations with the public, he said.
Still, the incident highlights the inherent dangers faced by police and the public in the wake of deadly police shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge in which gunmen killed eight officers and wounded 10 others.
In dealing with the mentally ill, experts say, those dangers only multiply.
“I was more worried about him than myself,” Kinsey told Channel 7 of the autistic man, whose name hasn’t been released.
Said his wife Joyce Kinsey: “I’m just grateful he’s alive and able to tell his story.”
“I was probably the popularest kind on campus, but in the worst way,” Lil Yachty says partway through #KeepSailing, a new film directed by Petra Collins and produced by The FADER. “I was a laughingstock. I was a joke because of my hair. Being in college really let me know I don’t want to live a regular life. I want to be rich, I want to be a celebrity, I want to be famous. I want to have this hair and people don’t laugh, they get excited.”
Filmed in the Atlanta suburbs where the red-headed Lil Yachty grew up, this 14-minute film — sort of like a docu-musical — is a gorgeous and goofy look at his rise. It’s full of surreal reenactments, boat trips, and interviews with Lil Yachty’s mom, his uncle Darnell Boat, his go-to producers Burberry Perry and Earl, and all his good friends in the Sailing Team.
Plus! There are musical performances of two new songs — “So Many People” and “All In” — both from Lil Yachty's new mixtape Summer Songs 2. The kid had a dream and he made it real.
A$AP Rocky has been catching some heat for comments he made during a 2015 interview with Time Out, that some people perceived as anti-Black Lives Matter.
"They're not forcing me to do shit. I'm just gonna stay black and die. Why, because I'm black? So every time something happens because I'm black I gotta stand up? What the fuck am I, Al Sharpton now? I'm A$AP Rocky. I did not sign up to be no political activist," Rocky said at the time. "I wanna talk about my motherfuckin' lean, my best friend dying, the girls that come in and out of my life, the jiggy fashion that I wear, my new inspirations in drugs! I don't wanna talk about no fucking Ferguson and shit because I don't live over there! I live in fucking Soho and Beverly Hills. I can't relate. I'm in the studio; I'm in these fashion studios; I'm in these bitches' drawers. I'm not doing anything outside of that. That's my life."
The 26-year old New York City native sat down with The Breakfast Club on Wednesday, July 20, to clarify what he meant.
"You got your favorite rappers today. I don't know if it's Thug, Future, Drake. You don't always here their content about the political shit or all that other shit," he said. "I feel like, why put put me on a pedestal for that? Especially when I'm not asking for that. I wanna make music, I wanna inspire, I wanna promote peace. 'Cause at a time like this I don't have all the answers. I'm not trying to run for Congress. I wanna promote prosperity. Especially for black people. Especially for just young people, ambitious people, underprivileged. I'm not here to talk about supremacy. I'm not here to talk about who's dominant.
"It's fucked up," the rapper continued. "Especially, being in London and looking at it from a different perspective. It's really sad because you come over here and you feel it. Before I thought they were just trying to gas it for the world to make it look like America's a bunch of idiots and shit like that, and this racism shit is really big. Coming back here, it's the truth. You can feel it. You can feel the energy, you can feel the tension, you can feel the separation. This shit is wack. How come black lives only matter a police officer takes it? It should be like black lives should ... it should matter when a black life takes it. All lives matter."

As promised Remo The Hitmaker releases his new single, "Piñata."This is off of the singer/producer's forthcoming EP titled "When It's All Said," dropping August 1st.
The drama between Taylor Swift and Kanye West over the song "Famous" continues.
TMZ reports that Swift is considering filing a police report over a phone call that West recorded while reciting lyrics from the song to her.
"For all my Southside niggas that know me best. I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex," West can be heard rapping on the recording.
West wanted Swift's approval to include the line in the song. During their conversation she consented, but after it was released her rep denied the singer was previously made aware of the track, which appears on Yeezy's album, "The Life of Pablo."
On Sunday, July 17, West's wifeKim Kardashianleaked the conversation viaSnapchatto prove Swift had prior knowledge and approved the lyrics.
However, because Yeezy recorded the call in California and didn't let Swift know about it he broke the state's "two-party consent" law.
Swift believes he committed a felony.
In the song West also raps "I made that bitch famous."
That added to Swift's anger. She says she never consented to being referred to as a "bitch" during the call because West never mentioned it. She wants the entire hour-long conversation released to prove her point.
