“Police brutality nationwide is not as bad as is being represented (despite the most recent case being a tragedy)“

Do you think this is the case across the board or is it worse for some segments of the population than others (I.e. by socioeconomic status, which neighborhood you live in, whether you are visible minority, ey )

Across the board. I think a variety of factors contribute to some groups being more likely to commit violent crimes, resist arrest, run from police, etc., and this leads to a higher likelihood of bad police outcomes.

That's not to say it justifies police brutality, of course, but again: it's statistics at a macro level.
