If the people storming the capital has been brown, it would have been a massacre.

  You're almost certainly right. But doesn't that mean you agree that cops shooting unarmed civilians is a bad thing?

    Of course: police evolved out of fugitive slave posses. Their funding should be decreased and the social safety net increased. And you agree that if it was brown people, it would have been called a coup and there would people on trial for treason.

    The cops shooting people who don't pose an imminent threat to the officers or others justifying shooting is a bad thing. In lots of circumstances, other clear and undisputed facts make it so that “unarmed” added to them implies “no imminent threat”, but “unarmed” is not, otherwise, decisive.
