1. I don't know, it seems more like they're trying to overcomplicate it.

You have a black youth mortally shot by a cop for not obeying his orders quickly enough. And the comic wants to swirl that into some incredibly complicated thing 'without simple answers'. Yes, there was a fight tied to 'gentrification', to which the officer was responding. But who gives a crap 'why' the officer was called out, when the outcome is him shooting someone for not obeying his commands 'quickly enough'? It is simple. Police resort to violence, and lethal violence, far too easily, far too quickly.
