    I had a bit of a brain fart and hit wrong button posting before I had fully written. That’s on me not on you.

    And yes protesting isn’t going to change policy directly. Only new policy will change policy. But protests often leads to new policy.

    They’re going to look for every reason to discount and disregard protests however. Specifically highlighting any small instances of violence. And specifically because it can change policy eventually.
