Someone could have been walking down the street with a bat cause they were coming from the park, and be categorized as “armed”. Just because one is carrying or hiding a potentially lethal weapon does not mean it had anything to do with the police stop or the killing. Someone shot in the back while running away from the cop is still unjustifiable homicide.
All those scenarios would not be included under the category of “unarmed” but should be included if one is comparing pointless killings by cops versus deaths caused by medical incompetence.
