I thought BLM started in response to police violence against Trayvon Martin. Did I miss something?

  George Zimmerman was not a police officer

    George Zimmerman was part of neighborhood watch, what do you think will replace police?

      That's not remotely relevant to what was being asked

      > what do you think will replace police? Honestly? My fear is that governments will privatize policing. Because that's the policy that both parties can agree on / take bribes from.

      Who would I get to round up trick-or-treaters rather than the cops? no one

      > what do you think will replace police A variety of domain-specialized community services organizations, many of which will have enforcement components, some armed, and probably at least one of which is investigatory/enforcement focussed, but no single monolithic paramilitary organization. Not a neighborhood watch, but more like how federal law enforcement, and despite the fact that “state police” organizations do exist, that of most states, is organized.
