what made them think this explanation would work?
Well obviously what needs to happen is we need to stand outside the police station and sing our hearts out and make sure we press that button to elect new local officials.

Maybe he did.. Because maybe he thinks "fear" excuse will absolve him of any kind of potential wrongdoing like it has for other pigs... -
I'll wait for his driving record to come out before I give my take on what happened

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-police-miami-idUSKCN1012C5U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Thursday the Justice Department was gathering information about the incident, the latest in a series of controversial shootings of black men by police in the United States.
Oh man.. The "Justice" Department is gathering information.. Which means this story has gotten a lot of attention and they want to act like they care(but they really don't).. So they put out that statement to make gullible ass people think the "Justice" Dept. may do something but in reality they won't do ? ... -
The DOJ stopped giving a ? 15 bodies ago. Y'all sound like they're really going to do something.

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. - The attorney of a man who was shot by a North Miami police officer this week said the city wants to settle the issue with his client as soon as possible.
Hilton Napoleon II said he has not been able to speak to North Miami police, but has spoken with the city manager and city attorney.
"There has been a discussion of a potential settlement, (and) they want to resolve it relatively fast in good faith to let the community know that they take these things seriously, but I'm not at liberty to discuss the terms of the settlement or what we think a potential settlement will be at this point," Napoleon said.
Meanwhile, the officer involved in the shooting released a statement Thursday afternoon saying, "I took this job to save lives and help people. I did what I had to do in a split second to accomplish that and hate to hear others paint me as something I'm not."
The officer has not been identified.
North Miami police held a news conference earlier in the day, where Police Chief Gary Eugene said the department has turned over the investigation to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
"I realize there are many questions about what happened Monday night," Eugene said. "You have questions, the community has questions, we as a city, and as a member of this police department, I also have questions. I assure you, we will get all the answers."
Kinsey's attorney said two or three shots were fired, with one of the bullets hitting Kinsey in the leg. The witness said the officer fired from more than 100 feet away with a rifle.
"He asked the officer, 'Why did you shoot me?' And the officer said, 'I don't know.' My client also overheard another officer ask the shooting officer, 'Why did you shoot this guy?' And the officer who fired the shot said, 'I don't know,'" Napoleon said.
Miami-Dade Police Benevolent Association president John Rivera said the officer was trying to protect Kinsey, but accidentally shot him.
"The one officer discharged his firearm trying to strike the individual that they thought was trying to bring harm onto Mr. Kinsey. This is not a case of police brutality," Rivera said. "This is not one of those cases where it's a rogue cop. This is not a case other than an officer who was trying to save the life of Mr. Kinsey and feels horrible that his aim missed and struck Mr. Kinsey."
However, the man who took the cellphone video claims the officer was looking through a scope when he fired his weapon.
Kinsey's stepdaughter, Kookie Maffett, told Local 10 News that she was the first person Kinsey called after the shooting.
"He was like, 'They shot me, they shot me,' and I'm like, 'What?' He was just like, 'The police shot me.' And I just freaked out and I grabbed my sister and we went straight to the hospital," Maffett said. "I mean, if someone surrenders and they have their hands up, as long as they have their hands up, I mean that should let them know not to shoot him at all."
Days after the shooting, Kinsey has yet to hear why officers felt the need to shoot.
"That's a reckless act and I don't understand any justification for it," Napoleon said.
The executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida released a statement saying Kinsey could have easily been yet another unarmed man fatally shot by police.
"This is the latest in what seems like an endless litany of police shootings of individuals who should not have been shot. Philando Castile in Minnesota, Alton Sterling in Louisiana, Vernell Bing in Jacksonville: there are too many to name them all here," Howard Simon said. "Of the 598 people killed by U.S. police this year, 88 were unarmed. Mr. Kinsey or his patient could very easily have become number 89."
Eugene said he asked the FDLE to take over the investigation on Wednesday.
"The State Attorney's Office is also looking at the case. Bringing in an outside agency shows our commitment to transparency and objectivity in a very sensitive matter," he said.
Eugene said the police department will conduct an internal investigation once the FDLE and Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office conclude their investigations.
"Investigators are gathering all evidence related to this incident," Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said in a statement. "As is our procedure, once FDLE completes its investigation, they will provide us with their factual findings and conclusions.
"At that time, we will conduct our own investigation and review all of the evidence to determine whether the actions of the shooting officer constitute a criminal act that can be proven beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. We will release detailed information about all of the evidence once our investigation is complete." -
Protecting Mr kinsey from what? An autistic man armed with a toy truck? Where the ? is the IQ test these pigs have to take?

Manye cops are da biggest cowards on da streets. Deez ? mistake sandwiches, phones, wallets, burritos, sodas, pretty much anything in a ? hands is a gun.

Why did he handcuff him and roll him over after he accidentally shot him?

Bc no explanation has been is insufficient thus far yet -
"We were trying to protect Mr Kinsey from the autistic kid" is that the best they can come up with?
-
Feels like the Twilight Zone.....

He lunged at the officer and tried to grab the gun with his feet would've been a better excuse.

This is crazy.... this could a been me many a day. They really gonna try and explain away shooting a crisis intervention therapist then say oh we really was trying to shoot the autistic man playing with a truck. The ? country we live in .... where shooting rain man is a after thought Smh

So instead of shooting the autistic man with a truck (which wouldve been stupid and ? horrible), he shot the black guy by "accident" trying to protect him from the autistic man with a toy truck, but then put the black guy in handcuffs as he bled out.
SO YOU HANDCUFFED THE MAN YOU WERE TRYING TO PROTECT!!!?? On what planet, and for what?
Id rather you say nothing at all, than something stupid as ? . Thats how cocky the police are. Hey, just make some ? up, ? em, we'll settle this with some money, and move on.
I want attempted murder brought up against this officer. Trying to ? an autistic kid over a toy truck. If i can clearly hear him say its a toy truck in the video, and the officer behind the telephone pole can clearly see its not a gun. Why would you still try to ? the autistic person?
