Mark Carroll sent an update on Charles Kinsey and the autistic man he was trying to protect in Florida that’s so incredible The Onion could publish it. Get this: the psycho who shot Mr. Kinsey in his leg was actually trying to hit the other guy. Yes. The disabled, harmless autistic man who was sitting in the road, playing with a toy truck. He was the true target.
Now, I don’t expect Leviathan’s enforcers to respect human life. But honest to Pete, wouldn’t you think fear of the ADA and the 8 zillion special “rights” Our Rulers shower on the handicapped would have inhibited said psycho?
Our Rulers claim that “a North Miami police officer shot Kinsey, 47, after, police said, mistakenly believing that Kinsey was going to be killed by the 23-year-old autistic man playing with a toy truck who was sitting on the ground next to him. … Police raced to Northeast 127th Street and 14th Avenue after receiving a 911 call saying there was a man in the roadway with a gun who was going to kill himself. When they got there, they found the man sitting on the ground with his truck and Kinsey, who was trying to coax the man back inside the nearby mental health center.”
A note to all you officious, “concerned citizens”: quit siccing the cops on the rest of us. Mind your own business, will ya? Mr. Kinsey could have died because you busybodies keep calling 911–and because the Rambos-cum-Barney Fifes out there confuse toy trucks with guns and a therapist counseling his patient with murder/suicide scenarios.
Lest you think I’m too hard on Rambo, picture yourself coming upon Mr. Kinsey and his patient. Even though some dingbat alleged that “a man in the roadway with a gun … was going to kill himself,” wouldn’t you say, “Hmmm, doesn’t seem at all the situation here. Guess the caller was wrong”?
But the story gets better: “the head of the police union” offered this “stunning admission [of Rambo’s intentions] … to calm the fears of a nation besieged with cellphone videos of police shooting and sometimes killing unarmed black men. In this case, [he] said, the officer ended up wounding the man he was trying to save.”
Apparently, this bozo actually considers that a defence! Aren’t you glad he’s not out there excusing your latest casualty? Then again, his occupation requires such mental quirks, given that the “Police Athletic League” actually solicits donations from us victims. I asked one of these clowns, “What, cops haven’t stolen enough from us already in traffic tickets? You seriously think we’ll voluntarily hand them money, too?”
Meanwhile, even Rambo’s accomplices are appalled:
…Robert Hoelscher, who spent 50 years with the Miami-Dade Police Department, said it’s hard to perceive how the situation was misjudged, but it was — grossly.
“I wish there was something positive I could say. You arrive on scene and a guy’s playing with a toy truck. Why do you bring out the assault rifle?” Hoelscher asked. “… This is as bad a situation as I’ve ever seen. It’s a good thing he was obviously a lousy marksman.”
And yet, through it all, Rambo remains chockful of the arrogance and smug self-pity that characterize cops: “‘I took this job to save lives and help people,’ the officer [whose name Our Rulers refuses to release] said. ‘I did what I had to do in a split second to accomplish that and hate to hear others paint me as something that I’m not.'”
Yo, Ram: the problem isn’t that we’re painting you falsely but all too accurately.
