Well yeah, if there are witnesses to the fact that he did not have a weapon in his hand then of course there is going to be a negative reaction. Shooting unarmed people tends to raise hackles.
A cop shooting a guy who is attacking him with a machete isn't going to be controversial. I know it's fun to say that all those goddamn PC lefties want to sing Kumbaya and persecute our heroes in blue, but it doesn't apply here.
