KulakRevolt makes a great point about how individual instances of police shootings don’t matter on their own, but instead primarily act as a Schelling point for thematically related anger. I agree completely. There seems to be a disconnect regarding focusing on specific incidents when in reality their individual merits absolutely do not matter within the broader ethos, they're just equilibrium points for people broadly angry to rally around. The people who take up the mantle in trying to "debunk" specific incidents miss the point.
