My point is it's cultural. 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.
The problem for the police is that those two categories aren't really determined by culture anymore. I'm as far from the cultural demographic in the second category you list as a person can be. But I'm troubled by modes of policing in our current society. And I see this incident as part of a larger trend that isn't based upon race, but is based on the state versus the civilian. It isn't going to end well without significant changes being effected.

I'd argue you this shows you view the incident from a lens of enunciated rights (the collective vs the individual). Whereas the majority of those protesting view it as a fight between in-groups.
