IMO this is not even a "race" issue, rather it's a police accountability issue.

Making it about BLACK lives unnecessarily removes from the debate a whole lot of bad behavior by the cops that angers people, simply because the recipients of said bad behavior were not black.

I'm thinking of all the cases where police kicked in people's doors based on a warrant that was obtained through lies or specious "evidence", cases where police shot people's dogs, destroyed or stole their property and were never held accountable for it.

I know that at least one discussion that has come up has been the curtailment, or outright elimination, of the doctrine of Qualified Immunity for law enforcement officers. If agencies knew they could be successfully sued by victims of misbehaving cops, they might be less likely to employ them.
