The black lives matter protest -- which are primarily a reaction to police violence and racial profiling -- have been a on the news here every day for weeks.
I also know of the Rodney King Riots, just to name another similar incident off the top of my head.
I live in Australia. Name one incident with our police that made the national news in the US, off the top of your head. (Using Google is cheating!)
There was also some incident in the last year or so that looked like suicide by police. I felt bad for the officer involved, and apparently they had to get counselling because they were so distraught afterwards.
Meanwhile we're hearing about US police forces killing people roughly weekly during the protests against excessive police violence.
It's flabbergasting that you think these facts are hate speech. This criticism is warranted. Certainly, many hundreds of thousands of your countrymen agree, loudly.

When I turn on the evening news here, I see US police violence against our journalists: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-02/channel-7-journalists...
I see our citizens being outright murdered by police, despite being white and blonde: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Justine_Damond
The last local police killing that I'm aware of was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindt_Cafe_siege
