Key word 'unarmed'.  It is so scary that police can justify using deadly force simply in not seeing one of your hands under the blanket.  HELLO!! You are in the person’s private quarters.  The Eugene student is unfortunate but certainly avoided tragedy, with these trigger happy lunatics.  Did they even knock?  Or was it raid style 'shoot first ask questions later' tactics?  Perhaps training would be beneficial or better screening before hiring; some of these cowards run around terrorizing people with their god-like authority and then justify killing or worse traumatizing an individual for life by their inability to reason through close contact scenarios.

I am not pleased, at all content, or do I even feel safe with these sorts of events taking place.  Freedom and civil rights have become a thing of the past, and so soon in America.  I mean you don't even read about this sort of crap happening in Russia.
