Another killing of a black man... but this one is quite different.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/13/us/atlanta-police-shooting-wendys/index.html

In this situation, the man was drunk, resisting arrest, took an officer's taser, and fired it at him while running away.

I'm not arguing that this was stellar police work... And they should definitely investigate it.  But this is just worlds away from the George Floyd situation.  And people are still protesting, demanding the police chief step down, etc.  You can acknowledge racism in the system without assuming cops are acting out of racism in every instance, or that every use of force is police brutality.  Unless there's something more to the video, I'm just not seeing this, and I think it hurts the credibility of the movement to act as though it is.
