UNBELIEVABLE CLARIFICATION

By Bob Walsh

Some more information has come out from the unfortunate shooting in North Miami that we reported on yesterday.

The P. D. is asserting that the shot in question was fired deliberately. The alleged target was the white guy. The black guy was hit accidentally.

I find this unhelpful because the black guy, a therapist at the group home the autistic white guy wandered away from, was shouting at the cops that there was no weapon there. The white guy was playing with a toy truck in the middle of the street. This was clearly audible on the cell phone video taken at the scene.

The cops are alleging the shot was fired because the cop that fired thought the therapist was in danger from the autistic patient. Of course if the cops hadn’t ordered the guy to lie down on the ground with his hands up he could have easily fled had he been in danger.

I am having a hard time figuring out how a guy sitting on his butt on the ground, facing away, playing with a toy truck on the pavement could be any sort of serious and immediate danger to a strong, healthy man.

Something just does not add up here. It might all be true, but it still doesn’t add up. The black guy, still in the hospital with a bullet wound to his leg, is still unhappy. Can’t say as I blame him.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I don’t have a problem with the explanation. The terrorist trick massacre in Nice was still fresh on the minds of those North Miami cops and they were afraid the black guy was going to be run over by the autistic man’s toy truck. They just need to go back to “How To Hit The Side Of A Barn” police firearms training.
