I don't think anyone is "popularizing the polarities of the topic" when they draw attention to those video recordings and the way they shock the conscience of people.

And I don't like to pick apart semantics, but the way you use the term "American BLM" is a Straw Man and an Ad Hominem deployed in tandem. It's difficult to have a constructive debate when it's posed in those terms.

What about having a conversation in good faith vs nitpicking my choice of language?

When I point out the fallacy, it's because I am trying to have a conversation in good faith.

When you say "American BLM" as if it were a monolithic entity and attach negative attributes to it, that goes to the heart of the matter.

I don't know how to have a conversation with you from across that chasm.
