I know the difference between the two, but as a bystander who does not have much invested in their movement or had reason to scrutinize them, I was always under the impression they were pushing for equal treatment by law enforcement. You're telling me they are publicly asking for more than that?
yes, always have been. So much so, that they have publicly NEVER been about law enforcement.
it was only this past year that they jumped on the "defund the police" movement, and that is their first notes about police at all.
it has ALWAYS been the claim that Police brutality against black people anywhere at anytime is merely a function of system racism and inherent and unresolvable white supremacy and the internalized whiteness of concepts such as "individualism and nuclear families" which must be destroyed.
it is why black MEN have only ever mattered when they are available to use as tokens upon death.
The apathetic majority has the same impression you've got, that is how the media whitewashed (pun intended ) it to sell to the public and why their support has generally dropped after they get long-er term media exposure.
it has also always been about driving a diametrically opposed "awareness campaign" of driving the white/black (not brown or POC) divide so as to create a more volatile situation. they desperately seek to grown extremism on the other side for further justification and profit.
