An unarmed man was shot by a South Florida police officer and said there is no way the officer should have ever fired upon him. The man, who was taken into custody on a drug charge, was on one of the busiest roadways in South Florida when he was stopped. He said he was fully cooperating with both officers when one decided to shoot him for no reason.
Man Stole Boy's iPad in Tamarac McDonald's: BSO Michael Gavins was pulled over by two officers in South Miami, didn't have a weapon, but ended up being shot in the chest. "You can check me. You can check the car, you can do whatever you want. Please don't shoot me. He paused maybe 30 seconds and the next thing I hear, 'Boom,'" Gavins explained.
"If the overt action is putting my hands up, telling him I am not a threat, then I don't know," Gavins said.
The officer was placed on a three-day administrative leave, but South Miami Police told NBC 6 he is now back on the street. Gavins hasn't been convicted of a crime before. The officer hasn't faced any disciplinary actions in his three years on the force. One lawyer told NBC 6 he witnessed all of this and that Gavins was cooperating and he was very surprised he was shot.
