A man is in good condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital after he was shot by a North Miami police officer this week, a hospital representative said.
Police said they were initially called to the area of Northeast 14th Avenue and Northeast 127th Street Monday after they received a call about an armed man threatening suicide.

1 injured in North Miami police-involved shooting
An employee of an assisted living facility, identified as Charles Kinsey, was shot by an officer while walking with a 23-year-old man with autism, police said.
According to North Miami police spokeswoman Natalie Buissereth, officers "attempted to negotiate" with the men and Kinsey was eventually shot.
Police have not said why the officer shot Kinsey.
"It was scary at first when I first heard about it. I was hysterical, but right now he is doing good," Kinsey's ex-wife, Lashawn Young, said.
Clint Bower, who runs the group home, told Local 10 News that Kinsey was shot three times in the leg and that the man he was caring for is non-verbal and has "relatively low function."
"Very shocked, because you hear it, like the police incidents all the time and you never think it is going to be a part of your family," Young said. "I feel like they just pull out their weapons and just shoot for no apparent reason."
Kinsey's attorney, Hilton Napoleon, told Local 10 News that the officer gave no reason for the shooting.
"My client asked the police, 'Why did he shoot me?' And the officer said, 'I don't know,'" Napoleon said.
Kinsey's lawyer said his client did everything police asked of him, yet they still fired at him.
"He threw his hands in the air as high as he possibly could and he told them, 'There is no need for that. Nobody has a gun. I am a behavioral therapist and I am trying to help this guy,'" Napoleon said.
Police said the autistic man had something in his hand, but Kinsey's lawyer said it was a toy fire truck and could not be mistaken for a gun.
"It is not silver. It is not shiny. It is not black. It doesn't look like a gun," Napoleon said. "In fact, you can see the autistic guy playing with it."
Meanwhile, Kinsey's family said they just want to see the officer punished.
The officer involved in the shooting has been placed on administrative leave as is department policy.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office is assisting in the investigation.

‘Sir, why did you shoot me?’ and his words to me were, ‘I don’t know.'”
This is the saddest funniest thing I've ever read -
But wait, I thought #alllivesmatter and police were unjustly being persecuted as criminals with badges?

Have to get full context, but the solution is getting a proper, unified movement that is active for ALL cases like this. We can emphasize the black cases when need be, to speak up for our people, white people for their people, latinos for their people, or anyone for anyone because justice.
BLM currently cant unify the way we need it to, and it needs a true, non bias leader, with better, ascertainable goals, who is in search of justice, not just feelings.
This cop will get fired, and go to jail, but enough is enough with the trigger happy ? . It has been for decades.
For all my people out there, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, invest in a body cam yourself. You can buy these as citizens, and pop them on your shirt. It will help ensure that any improper police interaction is recorded start to finish.
With a phone you have to reach for it, and they will shoot you for doing that. Or they might mistake the phone already in your hand for a gun, and shoot you. With a personal body cam, you can just walk out, hit record, and keep it moving.
Also invest in maybe pen audio recorders, or other recorders outside of your phone. Redundancies is the key word. It sucks we have to leave the house like that, but id rather leave the house like that until i get to my destination, then get shot, and lied on because there is no evidence to the contrary.

I have been looking into that but my fear is that if something foul ever happened to me then my camera would "disappear" or got damaged while I was "resisting arrest" it would need to live stream or auto record to a cloud service of some type -

I understand. The phone is great because you can record to the cloud live, so even if they destroy your phone, the evidence is still there.
Dont mind me, im paranoid. Im like, i want the phone apps, the pen audio recorder, and the body cam. One of these ? are going to get what i need. lol
