This is an excellent post!
I still believe in incrementalism and support the newly energized Defund the Police movement, but I hear you in having your focus on the larger frame. I would still urge you to consider the spark created by Floyd's death as one that can ignite the kind of change you want to see, even if the way others are framing it doesn't match your frame. As they say when bubbles burst, it doesn't matter the size of the pin. It only matters the size of the bubble. Let the energy the "pin" of Floyd's death has unleashed burst the bubble of state power and violence however much we can make it.
