Sorry about that bullet, man. I was aiming for the autistic guy.
A Florida cop who wounded an unarmed black therapist was actually trying to shoot the man’s patient, a union official said Thursday.

LOL! Cool pic.
That is standard procedure...but it appears to me as though the ‘accidental shooting’ idea came about later because it is the only plausible explanation for what the cop did. The therapist was handcuffed and taken into custody because the cop intended to shoot him, IMHO.
However, still need to wait for the complete investigation.
