The protests are about excessive police violence. The remedy is to defund the police, dismantle police departments, stop the transfer of military equipment to local PD's and make police officers personally accountable by ending qualified immunity. By immediately jumping to putting it all on an untouchable boogeyman you're not actually helping the cause. Instead you're losing focus and making change unattainable. This is a defeatist position and you're doing exactly what I accused you of doing in the first place but in a slightly different framework.
