So, 16% of those shot are unarmed, or armed with toys (that presumably resemble real weapons).<p>That&#x27;s something that should be considered - more than 84% of people shot by cops are armed with lethal weapons. Knowledge of that statistic might sway you when considering a shoot &#x2F; no-shoot reaction.<p>I think there are many problems at work here, and police brutality and militarization are just two of them.
