Less so today than they did before BLM highlighted the way they repeatedly did so.

EDIT: I mean, two people actually think the recent spate of prosecutions of white law enforcement officers for unjustified killings of blacks is because in the last few years American law enforcement officers have just become violently racist in ways they previously weren't, and not a change in accountability resulting from public attention to the issue?

Do you honestly believe that you could have murdered a black coworker without criminal justice ramifications prior to BLM?

Well, no, but that’s not germane to the issue being discussed.

Your asking that question in this context embeds several assumptions, at least one of which is incorrect.
