You may not know me very well, but let me assure you, I never ever jump to conclusions. I do not react in a knee-jerk manner.
Forgive me for not being clear in this regard. I was speaking in a general sense, not specifically to you in regards to consistency on this issue. The media loves to throw "unarmed" in the headline of an LEO involved shooting like this is an automatic indictment of the shooting. Plenty of posters here lap that pablum up with an ear to ear grin. I was no accusing you of being one of them, but I wanted to further illustrate that unarmed does no automatically equal a bad shoot.
