How come people are more upset about how people protest police brutality and don't care about the actual police brutality that does take place?

Or do they think all cops are heros and are never corrupt or unfair towards anyone. And the ones who let the school shooting go down in Texas were just doing their jobs and should be treated with respect.

Because protests are chaos and police represent order. People are afraid of the threat that protests pose to the state. It's a convenient way to take the heat off the state and turn those who speak out against state violence into the "real" villains.

People often defend state oppression until they find themselves the target of it.
