A few weeks back, the Florida care taker who was assisting an autistic man was shot while laying on the ground. As Charles Kinsey recovers from his wound he plans to sue the officer responsible.
Charles Kinsey has filed a federal lawsuit claiming that North Miami SWAT Officer Jonathan Aledda violated his civil rights, used excessive force and falsely arrested him.
The civil suit reads:
“It is important to note that, when Officer Aledda fired his weapon, neither Mr. Kinsey nor Mr. Rios had committed a crime, posed a threat toward any officer, civilian or each other.”
Representatives for Kinsey says that despite Officer Aledda’s claims of not hearing Kinsey’s screams, he was in close enough proximity to hear.
“All officers, including Officer Aledda, were close enough in proximity to hear Mr. Kinsey’s statements, and one officer even announced over the police radio, ‘It’s a toy truck. He’s saying it’s a toy truck.'”
Do you think Charles Kinsey is going to win this case?
