As far as I remember, since December 3, 2014 we have Eric Garner, the Cleveland 12 year old (12/12/14), and this one today. By my count that is three incidents of over use of power ending in the death of a suspect by police. And this means, that in five months, there have been 3 horrible deaths of blacks by cops, and when you consider the size of this nation, the number of cops; the number of criminal incidents taking place every day; etc., three deaths does not equal a "serious problem!" If it were three deaths in a day, or in one week maybe I'd say maybe you are correct. But right now, I'd say this proves that police have a few bad apples, and they need to be sought out and removed before they harm any more individuals, regardless of color.
316 people have been killed by cops since Jan. 1, 2015 in the USA, for whatever reason. That is 3.2 per day.
