On July 18, 2016, Officer Jonathan Alleda shot Charles Kinsey while he was lying on the ground with his hands raised. Kinsey had been trying to assist an autistic man outside a group home; he survived the incident. The set includes five figures: three police officers, a man sitting cross-legged, and another lying prone with arms outstretched. It’s not clear what anyone thought they saw.
