By unarmed you mean holding a moltov bottle in your hands? or perhaps fireworks? or a rifle? that you are about to shoot at the police officer.
Also if you take a look those officers don't have any weapons aside from clubs. Think for a second who would benefit the most if the officers started to shoot people? The opposition of course...
Also don't believe every picture you see in the media, because if that many officers really started shooting then the demonstration would be over pretty quickly. In fact the negotiations themselves were in order to prevent any extra blood spilled. I am not even sure how many of those shootings were instigated by the police.
Finally, those were not peacful protestors, they came to Kiev for a reason(most of them weren't residents of the city). If I was as poor as some of those people claim, how would I be able to stand and protest for three months? where would I get an income? how would I feed my children? and what job would want to keep me after? The front lines of protestors are not simple rioters, they were(are) trained and paid men.
There is a lot of money involved especially for the leaders of the opposition, and guess what for europe as well. I just find it funny that people only see one side of the story. A lot of people in Ukraine would actually prefer to keep the current government. They are just not crazy enough to protest for it and then be shot, or hit by the same thugs that hit those policeman.
If you would like more detailed examples, arguments, and proof I am willing to give it.
