There's two points to what wuf is saying.
BLM are saying "we don't give a toss about whites, this is only about us",
Wait, so the oppressed aren't expressing concern for their oppressors? How inconsiderate of them.

A just society is better for everyone, even the people who aren't getting murdered by the police. Not sure why that's so hard for some people to grasp.

The system needs to be changed so that it's not racist. You don't need an entirely new system for that, you need to change how the system operates. It's not even that complicated: 1) individual police need to be held responsible for breaking the law, not given a pass because the victim belongs to a minority; and 2) the police as an institution need to train people properly so they don't default to the use of excessive. If you do those two things, 90% of the problems with cops abusing their power would be solved.
