Bias is a matter of context. If a news organization worded it like that, then yes, I'd say that is bias, in the sense that they are selling a conclusion rather than jut providing the evidence and being neutral.
Here we are having a conversation about our conclusions. Conclusions arent bias in thsi context, they are conclusions. Thou you could say the evidence biased me, but thats a horrible use of the word.
As for why its not 3 protestors tryign to disarm him, there are several reasons why not 1) it was testified in court that "kill him" was screamed while chasing him 2) the people were throwing things at him despite he was running away screaming "friendly" so they **already** commited violence proving they were violent long before a shot was heard 3) these people all historically have criminal charges for committing some pretty heinous violence in the past suggesting their character (and yes character is important in evaluation the likelihood someone will be violent) 4) Even if they were trying to disarm him, since he has a legal right to be armed this alone does not redeem them, they have no right to illegally and forcibly/violently disarm a person, so its no excuse anyway.
As to your last question. If you dont know if the person is a victim and you try to violently remove their only means of protecting themselves, then yes, that is an act of violence in itself, one based of no information to draw your conclusion and yes you put yourself in a sitution where you forfeit your safety and dieing is a rightful consequence of that. I wouldnt say they "deserve" to die, but their actions absolutely is where the blame lies for their death, not with Kyle.
