Police brutality: Cops arrest about 10-12 million people per year, Last year Police killed 19 unarmed white people and 9 unarmed black people. If you say Police arrest more blacks per capita, I'll agree and remind you that blacks commit more crimes per capita. Lower your crime rate and you will lower your interaction with Police.
So if you completely eliminate Police killings of unarmed blacks, you will have reduced black deaths per year by the same amount as an average Sunday in Chicago.
Protests/Riots: Not a single black life will be saved, in fact several have been killed
Pulling down statues of Confederate Generals: Go ahead, it will have zero effect on saving black lives.
Renaming Forts: Nada, zip, zero
Defunding Police: This one is a big zero too. I've read articles saying there's too much Police in Black neighborhoods, and articles saying they need more Police. Actually, Police in many cities have lowered death rates of black shooting victims because they were instructed to take victims direct to hospitals instead of waiting for ambulances.
Autonomous Zones: If you allow armed citizens to patrol their own neighborhoods the gangs will infiltrate/bribe their way to control. Result, more killings.
All of the above is just theater, it's not going to actually solve the problem and save black lives. The biggest impact on saving black lives would be reducing the thousands of homicides committed every year by blacks on blacks.
But as Family Guy shows in video below, nobody wants to talk about that.

All that is true......what needs to change is the mind set of the American people, employers, government and so on. When you hold down a race it will never get better.
I was talking to a worker at a AC company and still today white men get pay more then blacks or hispanic men. White men in construction advance fast then blacks and hispanic workers. Racial language is used on the job site everyday, racial language is written on the portable restrooms. Until we stop this kind of mind set things will never change. I truly did not under stand the “White Privilege” until I spoke to this worker about what goes on everyday day in all walks of live. Whether we wanna believe it or not they walk around with a target on them, they are look down at simply because of their color skin by a large portion of our communities? So until we fix that, we can not fix All Lives Matter. This FYI is not just a black issue.
