The murdered guy wasprobably a scumbag criminal (because he ran from police when pulled over for a tail light being out) but that doesn't justify gunning him down. This South Carolina incident was not like Ferguson or the other justifiable police killings that the media riled people up about.
How did they find out he was unarmed? They checked the corpse. He had a record which included jail time for assaulting an officer, had been jailed multiple times, and had a bench warrant--he owed child support (thanks, Clinton, for re-introducing debtors' prison under the guise of "deadbeat dads!")
He ran because, allegedly, he didn't want to go back to jail.
How to survive an encounter with police: obey their orders, however stupid they seem; don't resist; don't run; being polite won't make you more likely to get shot.
