Surprised that you're surprised given how often this tack has been taken in stories on this subject matter... this is standard "narrative" politics; regardless of the idiosyncracies or nuances of the situation, if at a ten thousand foot level you can draw any comparison (black person + police use of force, here) you must draw the story into the overall story about race relations, because that story - the fight against racism by police in the USA - is what's really important. The incident is just a random incident with no discernible consequences.
