>brandishing a knife but not armed otherwise

I had a falling out with a friend many years ago, a black girl that I had gone on a few dates with but it never progressed beyond platonic. We were arguing about BLM and she brought up the case of what she called "an unarmed black man being shot by police".
She did not expect me to be familiar with the case and know that the man had been brandishing a hammer.
BLM Toronto really glommed onto this case because it so incredibly rare for police to kill people in Canada.

They love the word "unarmed". They love it so much they use it when it doesn't apply.
