That's part of the problem.
The anti BLM folks were saying "the State (in the form of the police) should do the thing I want! (By crushing protests)".
The pro BLM folks were saying "the State (in the form of the courts) should do the thing I want! (By convicting)".
The former tramples on free speech, the latter tramples on due process, but both of those concerns are only valid through a Statist lens anyway. I'm talking about a paradigm shift. Where both of those strategies and concerns are made irrelevant.
The zero-sum rivalrousness of those two positions hinges on the fact that they each want The State to do vaguely contradictory things. And they each want to wield "power in numbers" to convince the State to do their thing.
It's just recapitulating the tyranny of democracy in a different venue.
