False. Some un-armed have been shot. I've had police point guns at me and I'm not shot, same with the folk I was with - mixed racial group, Oakland, CA, c1995, 1997, 2001
E: oh yeah, and I've seen Seattle police draw but not fire on many occasions. Most recently was a few months ago, chasing a dealer up my street and hiding in the stairwell just outside my place.
E2: also, this is not the place for it - like all the other flagged comments
I do notice. The the parent said it "never" stopped them - I'm aware of a few. I'm sure not saying the police are perfect (they are not) - but "never"!? That's an absolute that's simply not true. Shit, kids I knew were killed by police (I also knew kids that were killed by other kids). Let's all be for real tho.
Some police have killed some Innocents - and it seems to be getting more frequent - but it's not an always/never thing.
I hope shit like this never happens to anyone you know.
Now, give me more downvotes, I'm still here and have a session tomorrow.
Exactly. Police killed an innocent man with no gun and won't even charge the policeman who opened fire.

Heck, the state will not even tell the cops name who executed a civilian at his own door.
If that had been in Florida it would of been revealed.

Notice we have this comment but no comments from innocent people who were killed by the police.
