Florida man appears to lie down, put hands up before being shot by police

[TexasTowelie]

MIAMI — Florida man Charles Kinsey claims he was shot in the leg by police while lying on the ground with his hands in the air. And now, local news station WSVN is airing cellphone footage, which seems to back up Kinsey's claims.

Kinsey told WSVN: "When he shot me, it was so surprising. It was like a mosquito bite."

The cell phone video doesn't show the actual shooting, but it appears to show Kinsey lying down, arms in the air, telling the officers there is no need for lethal force. He also tells the officers that he is a behavioral therapist and tries to calm down another man in the street, reportedly one of Kinsey's patients.

North Miami police said they were responding to reports of an armed man threatening suicide in the middle of the street. Kinsey, a behavioral therapist, says that man was a patient with autism who was playing with a toy truck. Kinsey says he tried to convince the officers neither himself nor his patient was a threat.
