    Hey but the cities around me had protests that went till 2pm, only on a non-work day and family friendly so everyone could get their photo ops and be home in time to watch the game. That's surley going to change things right? ... right?

    I understand a bit deeper than that actually. These things aren't happening with a two hour march on the weekend. This reeks of the BLM protests, where people just wanted to return to the status quo and go back to brunch. And people did go back to brunch and things just continued getting worse, with no systemic changes.

    We need more than a two hour photo-op.

    I went to table myself, and saw none or even lingering crowds, but granted it seems like it may have been a local phenomenom for me.

    I was just expecting more out of San Francisco

    Nah thats kinda my point actually. It was a two hour photo-op, after which everyone dispersed to go shopping. No real demands, no shutting down of anything, state sanctioned, and directed by the police. That's not a protest, it's a parade. Offers no real contention, and no real threat to the powers that be. Often just serves to placate people into thinking they've "done their part" and go back to their normal lives as everything gets worse, and curbs people from real organizing.
