Charles Kinsey, a 47-year-old behavioral therapist who was trying to help a patient with autism who ran away from a group home where Charles works and got shot three times in the leg by the police, is filing a lawsuit against North Miami SWAT officer Jonathan Aledda.
When the shooting happened, Kinsey asked Aledda why he had done that and the answer was “I don’t know”.
However, now Aledda tells a different story. He says:
“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.”
Hope everyone remembers that Kinsey said multiple times that his patient was holding a toy truck in his hands, not a gun like the police mistakenly assumed. So there was no reason whatsoever for Aledda to shoot either Kinsey or Rinaldo Rios (the patient). The fact that Aledda is trying to justify his actions shows that he is EXACTLY what others paint him to be.
