Charles Kinsey, an unarmed black man, had his hands in the air when he was shot three times by Miami police. Cops were responding to a report that a man was holding a gun and threatening suicide, according to WSVN. Their tweets are hard-hitting and shine a light on the devaluing of black lives. Many noted that despite how tragic the situation is, society may try to criminalize Kinsey, as has been a routine when black people are shot by police. When police arrived, Kinsey ― a 47-year-old behavioral therapist ― told the cops that he was trying to help the man, who is his 23-year-old patient with autism.
