The argument has been deliberately unmoored from reality. The UK police is not the US police and have little in way of similarity so they are suddenly under unfair scrutiny. People generally do protest about police brutality but nobody really cares about the statues of 18th century philanthropists except critical race theorists who want to undo the enlightenment.
In the US the officer has been charged with second degree murder and the other police with accessory to murder. Any realistic reform would certainly be taken seriously (such as perhaps mandatory body cameras) however they are just arguing about abolishing the police all together which is naturally provocative to anyone who isn't an anarchist.
