Read the article again. It says that of all the people shot by HPD in the last 5 years, fully one-quarter of them were not carrying weapons.

Does that make any difference in your thoughts about it?

I would need to see more information than whats in the article, for example was the "unarmed" civilian driving a vehicle directly at the officer? Or maybe the unarmed civilian was beating/kicking the officer for all they were worth, or maybe the unarmed civilian ....

I would assume that civilians make a much higher portion of the stats than 25%, after all unless someone is in the military they are civilians. I would be concerned if the stats showed a very high percentage of the people shot by HPD were not civilian. /nitpick
