I disagree, because it dismisses the primary issue at hand in order to push the false equivalence of the point he made.
The present riots and violence is the culmination of riots and violence on an unprecedented scale against a specific community going back centuries. That doesn't mean that the 25 year old police officer needs to feel as though he was steering the slaves ships himself. The good police officers should be equally outraged, but evidence of this on the scale we should be seeing isn't there.
