Besides the lod222 angle
This story shows how BLM endangers us at both the level of individual incidents and a culture
This officer had every reason to blow away the crazed wacko attacking him, and didn't. He resorted to fist fighting because he knew if he shot a black man he'd get crucified in the media and probably put in prison himself despite it being obviously, blatantly justified. The wacko had already committed nine home invasions and was not just walking free, but became director of a non-profit charity. And then he did this attack, and his family still received tens of thousands of dollars on GoFundMe.
In a sane world, this black man would never have been shot by police because he'd be spending life in prison. In a sane world, Tasers would have escalating settings so police don't have to calibrate weapons so they're 100% non-lethal to a 50 lb child yet are still supposed to stop a 5'10" 164 lb adult male charging at you. In a sane world you'd get shot the moment you try to push an officer into traffic
