BLM was founded after Zimmerman was acquitted of killing Travyon Martin.
Zimmerman was not a cop but a racist who hunted the young black man and then shot him dead. Tragic. But the cops didn't kill him. And Actually, more white people are shot by police than black people. And Since certain black areas have more gun violence, both black and white cops have to defend themselves. I wouldn't be a cop for a million a year, now they are quitting in NY and they have had to put a 'hold' on early retirements.
Police officers across the US have quit their jobs in recent days.
BLM was formed under Obama, as well as the Ferguson riots and the murder of T.Martin. There have been racial incidents under every president.
Police have killed 598 people in 2020.
Black people have been 28% of those killed by police since 2013.

"Black Lives Matter" began as a loosely affiliated organization in 2014 following the Ferguson, Missouri shooting of Michael Brown. It's stated intention as an umbrella organization is non-violent civil disobedience.
If blackbery is correct, it appears to have been either hijacked by violent anarchists, or was disingenuous about its real motives from the beginning.
There is cause for the claim of excessive police brutality against black citizens of the U.S., however. Unbiased statistics show that regarding fatal police shootings alone (which doesn't include deaths by other means), about 33% of them were directed at black citizens, even though the demographics show that less than 14% of the U.S. population is considered black.
Meanwhile, known, self-avowed White Supremacist organizations have reportedly increased their membership rolls by about 50%.
All of this violence is happening on Trump's watch.
