Of course his size (and fighting expertise) is his weapon. In reality , nobody is ever unarmed. You could be wearing steel tipped shoes, carry a ball point pen, be wearing a belt, have shoelaces, have a golf ball in your pocket, a cigarette lighter - all are weapons.(as are the hands, which can wrest a gun away from the person being attacked)ANYONE attacking toward you is considered armed. You have no way of knowing if someone is carrying a knife which can be pulled in a FRACTION OF A SECOND, or if the attacker might seize your own gun. You have to be told this TWICE ?Read the OP.It only applies to armed suspects.

And yet this 14 year old girl was utterly defenseless against an abusive police officer. Makes you proud, doesn't it?
