Because you don't have a fucking clue what the problem is and lash out mindlessly?

Your scenario doesn’t count because the victim was White, silly goose!
The folks that like overpowering blacks even if it kills them don't mind ridding the white race of what they think are the shallow end of their gene pool every now and then. Blacks aren't the only subgroup of our culture that face higher levels of police brutality than a heterosexual white male. Women, gays, those with physical and mental disabilities. All have more to fear from the police than you and me. Be freaking honest.

I’d say that’s a bit extreme, but that would be a gross understatement.

You are right, I DON'T have a fucking clue about this. I don't understand the desire of some humans to physically dominate another human, especially those they consider to be weak or inferior to them. It is a concept that revolts me so to see this done with zero consideration given to the victim makes my head spin. It's unsettling to see such evil in such a role of authority.

Police officers killing people who shouldn't have been killed in that situation is one of the most extreme issues facing the health of this nation.

There are misfits and malcontents and misanthropes in lots of professions. I’m not sure that means that LEO’s are sociopaths intent on purifying the gene pool.

If you believe that, then you should be a happy little Trumper.

The trend-line in this country of unarmed people being killed by police is moving significantly in the right direction.

In 2015, 218 unarmed Americans were killed by police (out of a population of 320 million people).

In 2019, 114 unarmed Americans were killed by police (out of a population of 328 million people).

In fact, if you want to make this a partisan thing -- which I'll admit is a stupid idea -- all three years of the Trump presidency have had below trend-line number of unarmed people by police (140,112,114).

It is natural to presume that when we see an officer commit a heinous act that such acts are endemic. But not only are they not endemic, the data suggests that they are slowly but surely becoming LESS prevalent.

“Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington confirmed evidence of white supremacist groups trying to incite violence; Many posted messages online that encouraged people to go loot in Minneapolis and cause mayhem.”

I don't care that it is declining. I care that it hasn't declined to zero, which is the only acceptable number of these incidents that should happen.
