He was unarmed. Hands raised. Helping a patient who held a toy truck. And they still shot him. #CharlesKinsey https://t.co/XnmbWdv5t2

No criminal record, college educated, unarmed, wearing a polo shirt & jeans, hands up, and they still shot him. #CharlesKinsey

— MikkiKendall (@Karnythia) July 21, 2016

Police killed at least 598 people this year. There's no reliable data on the number of people who survive police shootings. #CharlesKinsey

— Samuel Sinyangwe(@samswey) July 21, 2016

The officer who shot #CharlesKinsey needs to go to prison. Until cops are held accountable, people will not trust them. Period.
