Yikes. No. If you don’t get threatened with a gun or another weapon you don’t shoot period.

Some people have mental issues and normally they twitch a lot. And cops claim they were afraid for their lives, it’s the easy license to kill. I find that barbaric and no wonder we see so much backlash against the police force!!!

It doesn't take a weapon to kill someone. A blow to the head can be fatal. And as we recently saw in the case of George Floyd, positional asphyxiation and/or choking can be fatal, too.

When considering whether or not the use of deadly force was justified in a given situation, the lack of a weapon isn't the trump card indicating the force was not justified that many people think it is.
