That is a very recent case.
It is one of many cases where the black community feels there is police abuse. We could go back to Rodney King if you like.
That recent case is another case of a cop rashly overreacting, to a really extreme degree, but I don't think you can call for murdering all coops on the basis of that kind of overreaction, which could only get worse with that kind of "solution" anyway.
Black Lives Matter is not calling for any police officer to be hurt. Yes, there are hot heads who will do stupid things, but the movement as a whole is peaceful.
As for only having the word of the cop, most of the cases I've referred to I've seen on video, and in the case of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin I've read the evidence against them and it is convincing that they acted provocatively.
A recent case in Baltimore had police officers planting drugs on people. They even tried to work around their body cams, but one body cam finally caught it. What was happening before body cams?

Sure, but in your opinion is taking to the streets and burning down buildings and attacking people and murdering cops doing more to prevent such deaths?
This constant deflection to other groups is a rather obvious ploy to support white supremacists.

Isn't possible to denounce both according to you?
Do you denounce the anti-fascist American soldiers in WW II as much as you denounce the fascist Nazi soldiers?
