One American culture views this as an isolated incident where an individual/small group either behaved maliciously or negligently or accidentally. Another American culture views this as emblematic of one group suppressing another one.
Said differently, one group prejudges the situation. Right?

Both groups largely prejudge. There is almost no situation in which you would find a cop culpable.

Both groups are engaged in confirmation bias.
1). It's probably true that a 400 lb black man got rougher treatment than a 100 lb Asian woman would have received in the same situation.
2). It's also probably true that the last thing these officers wanted to do was kill him.
But this is speculative. We can't really know from a short video.
