UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED YOU CANNOT ASSUME. There is no law that says you cant shoot and "unarmed man".

Ok so we shouldnt have shot Bin Laden then, since he was "unarmed''

Deadly force can be used as a last resort if the officer felt his life or a fellow officers life IS IN DANGER. Since we dont know what caused the fight, or caused him to pull his gun, we dont know what the "imminent life threatening" situation was, OR EVEN IF THERE WAS ONE.
The scenario's you're making up are less probable than mine, especially considering how nice of a guy he was. Sure we can discuss "what ifs" all day but that doesn't change the fact that the cops used excessive force without cause. Going by everyone's description of Matt, he was a nice guy who has worked with the police and support them. Would this kind of guy reach for a cops gun and try to kill them? I seriously doubt that. 2+2=4
