Twitter users are outraged after Charles Kinsey, a behavioral therapist who had been helping an autistic man, was shot by police even though he had been lying on the ground with his hands in the air.<\/h3>\n
\n

On Monday, the 23-year-old autistic man identified as \u201cRinaldo\u201d<\/em> ran away from a North Miami group home. Police received a call saying that there was a suicidal man with a gun in the street, who turned out to be the autistic man wielding a toy truck.<\/p>\n

Outrage erupted Wednesday, after a video of the event emerged, showing caretaker Charles Kinsey going out to help his patient. He tried to explain the situation to officers in a calm, composed fashion while he lay on the ground with his hands stretched into the air.<\/p>\n

Anger on social media centered around the fact that Kinsey had been shot despite apparently doing everything possible to make it clear that he wasn\u2019t dangerous.<\/p>\n
