King is stated to have hit his daughters and step-son, but that isn’t shown on screen. However he and other gang members beat and attempt to murder a teenage boy during the books climax.

There are a few mentions of the phrase "I can't breathe" being used by those protesting.

It's a major plot event that happens very early into the book.
!!!SPOILERS!!!
.
.
.
Khalil is shot three times in the back by a police man after reaching for a hairbrush in his car. Quite graphic, a fair amount of blood and descriptions of what's happening. References to Emmet Till also pop up briefly, but they aren't frequent or graphic.

A cop character is portrayed in a good light, but other than that, the book is highly critical of police brutality and the police force as a whole.

While a majority of characters in the book are black, the plot revolves around the death of a young black teen.

There is, but it’s to make a point of how awful hate speech is, and how important it is to recognize and rebel against it.

*SPOILERS* bittersweet—On one hand, Starr’s family is able to get a better living situation and help rebuilding their store, Devante survives and has a chance of leaving the King Lords behind, and King himself has been arrested. But on the other, the cop who murdered Khalil gets away with it.
