Be very careful what you believe...
I live in Tallahassee. The man killed by the police had literally just stabbed a man to death, and he was killed reaching for a gun.
Wikipedia
On May 27, 2020, after 11 a.m.,[2] a 38-year-old African-American[3][4] transgender man, Tony McDade,[5][6][4][7] was fatally shot in the Leon Arms apartment complex by an officer of the Tallahassee Police Department,[8] following the fatal stabbing of Malik Jackson on nearby Saxon Street.[1][9][10] Early reports of the incident misgendered McDade as a "woman", and on May 28, the police department described McDade as a woman who "identified as a man".[1][11][9][4]
McDade is a suspect in the fatal stabbing and police stated that McDade pointed a gun at police and that a bloody knife was found at the scene.[citation needed) An eyewitness report has contradicted statements by the Police Department[12] that McDade was armed with a gun.[8][13][6][5]

I'm pretty sure part of that can be explained by Americans being able to buy as many weapons as they can afford.

Accompanying comment:
"This has been the center of protests for the past two weeks, it looked like a barricaded war zone, with streets closed off all around capitol hill. Cops were everywhere in riot gear, firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Today they took their toys, shredded a bunch of documents, and boarded the place up."

"Over the last week, Florida has seen rising numbers of new COVID-19 cases. Since Tuesday, the number of people who tested positive for the coronavirus totaled more than 1,000 each day. Saturday's total of 1,426 positive tests was the most since early April." -NPR

Are there still people out there who think all these people all over the world are wrong and they themselves - who have never experienced police violence - have it right?
