Are you asserting that "RuboCop" is an inherently immoral name? Are you asserting that it's an inherently hurtful name?
I definitely believe that if there's an objective line between right and wrong, then the name "RuboCop" has not crossed that line.
The name was not chosen as a signal of political support to one side in this conflict. Switching the name would be essentially just a signal of political support to the BLM movement - but IMHO it's not offensive to refuse to participate in this political signaling.
