To me, unacceptable answer. I expect a lot from the people who are actually allowed to carry firearms in my society. The police are sticking together on this and pleading a defense of "unintentional blindness", claiming that the officer did not realize the suspect was unarmed. A story which has proven to be a complete lie to the public who pay them. In the video you can see an officer approach Boyd and disarm his bike chain, then walk away. From that point onwards the officer fires the fatal shot. Think about this. If this ever gets passed through court even once, future cops will be able to claim "unintentional blindness" and shoot first, ask questions later.
