I am completely in agreement that the police need reforms. The problem is that BLM made it entirely about race, when the statistics don’t back that up. Two other egregious examples of police misconduct towards white people include Kelly Thomas and Daniel Shaver, but you never hear a peep out of the SJW crowd because white people getting killed by the police and the police getting away with it goes against the narrative they want to push.

BLM ruined any chance of meaningful police reform when they turned it into a race war. What should have happened is every race coming together in agreement that police brutality is a problem for everyone. They could have been successful in getting bipartisan support if they didn’t make it all about race.

What they really need is the community in control of the police rather than the police (or worse thugs: the government) controlling the community.

The people who set the standards for blm seem to have made it that way.
