Is this data available, breaking out whether the individual in question was armed at the time of shooting by police or not?

Sure, if you want to point out that cops violate your right to own firearms. That's what you mean by that, right? That you have a constitutional right to own a firearm making the excuse "they had a gun" a violation of those rights, right?

Does it count if the person had a toy, or a phone, and the police claim the victim was armed?
