The movement of the white individual made it look like he was going to discharge a fire arm into Mr. Kinsey and the officer discharged trying to strike and stop the white man and unfortunately, he missed the white male and shot Mr. Kinsey by accident."
Rivera said that the video footage of the incident was "being portrayed poorly."
Kinsey is hospitalized with a gunshot wound to his right leg after two or three shots were fired, according to his attorney.

"Mr. Kinsey did everything right, let's be real clear about that," Rivera said. He said that the police officer involved in the shooting "wishes nothing but the best for Mr. Kinsey and the officer is praying for his speedy recovery as are we."

Then why did they roll Mr. Kinsey over and handcuff him while waiting for the ambulance?
