This reflects a pattern on the Left. When an idea is unpopular, it just changes the language and terminology around said idea (see "gender-affirming care," for example). But the impact is the same.
Take Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL). He says, "To deny the anti-Blackness and white supremacy undergirding our justice system is to blind yourself from reality. We need a completely holistic, top-to-bottom approach to ensure justice in our country and accountability for actors in these systems." In a now-deleted tweet, Frost followed up, "You have to look at the entire system."
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) similarly tweeted , "The effort to separate the officers who murdered Tyre Nichols from the system of policing that produced them is palpable." ...
Enter former President Barack Obama: "Along with mourning Tyre and supporting his family, it’s up to all of us to mobilize for lasting change.

Obama’s website features a section on "Reimagining Policing."
