the Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who killed unarmed teen Michael Brown

Michael Brown was not "unarmed" he had his hand on the officer's service revolver and his finger in the trigger guard. That makes him "armed" during the confrontation.

Cops don't generally carry revolvers any more. Mostly Glocks in .40 S&W caliber.
