Man fatally shot by police at the Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center

I can agree with that.

 

How exactly would unarmed police keep the peace?

 

At the same time, the guy had blood all over him. So you assume the worst. It doesn't take a big knife to kill you. It also so happens the police know how fast a person with a knife can close the gap and kill you with it. It can happen very fast. So fast, that a person can close the gap and kill a person with a gun before they can pull a trigger.

 

How don't they? I don't see riots in the streets just because the police aren't armed.

 

one bullet probably wouldve been enough and the guy would still be alive

 

If a person is every fatally shot by a police officer in England, the police officer is immediately suspended with pay and given a court date. They will investigate the shooting and deem it necessary or an over-reaction. Over here, the cop will automatically be given benefit of the doubt, a statement will be released, and that will be the end of it. That just doesn't make sense to me.
