Minnesota has less than half the population of the US city I live in. That metropolitan area is less than a third of the metropolitan area I live in. My area, as well as many other large US metropolitan areas, does not seem to observe that animosity of police aggression and civic unrest though some do. Could this problem be regional, because it isn’t evenly distributed based upon population density alone?

The problem is "agitators". For at least the last 10 years a good many of the riots/protests you have seen on TV have been fomented and/or inflamed by paid parties. This is a 100% proof case of "Wag the Dog". I highly recommend it if you haven't seen the movie.
