I still think the problem that the protests in the States want addressed goes deeper.
Or rather, there's 2 problems.
Problem 1: Racism. Minorities ( black, hispanic, immigrants of any kind, ... ) are constantly being discriminated. Sometimes open and systematically, sometimes because of everyones subconscious bias to the known and familiar, sometimes by social forcing factors of society. ( Because you are from a stigmatized minority, you are poor and have shit jobs, so you can't afford proper education, so your kids become criminals and are poor, too, which further stigmatizes the minority --> vicious circle ) This is a world wide problem. There is not a single society that is not affected by this, although some communities are affected more than others, and of course the minorities subject to discrimination differ. The victims in country A can easily be the ones at fault in country B and vice versa. (Look at different regions within India for example) - And even though the black community has been on the receiving end disproportionally often, black people are unfortunately not immune from discriminating others.
Problem 2: Police brutality. Police should serve and protect. Not be brutal and randomly kill people. This should go without saying, but for some reason - and this is a problem specific to the United States of America - the false ideal of the renegade colt slinging sheriff that solves all problems in "judge dread" manner - upholding law and order with an iron fist - is still way too prominent. Not many other countries have as many people killed by police per capita than the united states, and those that are are either dictatorships or in a state of civil war. In turn the violence against police is pretty high, but that, too is a vicious circle. Why should any petty criminal not try and gun down the police men after him, if he already knows he doesn't get to expect mercy from either the police, nor the flawed judicial system - should he survive his arrest.
What happens if you combine both: A trigger happy, brutal police force, with wide spread racism against a minority which is both known for and forced into a higher crime rate than the average, you get innocent people killed by abusive cops for no other crime but having the wring skin color.
I agree with the "Black Lives Matter" outcry. The racism must stop. But there is merit to the "All Lives Matter" statement, too. Police MUST NOT be killers. It doesn't matter what color the subjects skin is. You can't have cops being ad-hoc lawmaker, constable, judge and executioner in one person - and even get away with it unless there's mass protests.
The police problem is not solved by simply campaigning for less racism among the police force, because racism is only a small part of the issue here.
Likewise, racism cannot be fixed by reforming the police - it's a much deeper rooted problem in society.
And both must be addressed.
I don't think becoming a mind-linked collective under the watchful mind of an all-knowing all-seeing "benevolent AI" would be the answer though
