>All cases I've seen were justified self-defense

Again, you're making subjective determinations based on a small input and declaring that anybody with another opinion is lying. You can make the argument that a given incident was justified or not, but it doesn't follow that desire for change is founded on lies. There is a gigantic wealth of input on this topic, and individual videos of police violence, even if you somehow think every single instance is justified, is still only one part of the picture, first-hand experience and data analysis being just two major examples of other input. I'm not saying this other input proves anything - just, again, that it is unreasonable to assert that the entirety, or even the majority, of the desire for change is based on lies.

this is the primary tactic of BLM movement, proclaim a few martyrs for the cause and generalize it to "systemic" phenomenon (and call anyone who disagrees, or brings up facts a "racist"), just like a proper conspiracy theory.

The theory could have a seed of legibility if at least these few martyrs so loudly protested for were actually killed because of their race and not because of obvious bad choices they made, like shooting at cops. But that's not the case, if you dig just a bit deeper beyond biased news and manipulated videos omitting context and engineered for outrage. These are fake martyrs and systemically fake movement.

If you think there is systemic racism in the US, where is the systemic evidence.
